In order to find the correct replacement hubs for your Shoreland'r boat trailer, you need to first know what bearings your current hub has. You will need to take apart your current hub assembly and look at the bearings themselves; wipe away the…

It sounds like you are speaking of the wires for the brake magnets. If this is correct, you will need to connect one of the wires to the brake controller output wire on your trailer connector and the other wire will need to be grounded to a clean…

The spring seats on an axle can be moved and this is a whole heck of a lot cheaper than going with a custom axle which is your other option so that's what I recommend. I'm not sure what capacity you need but I have attached some options…

Your car hauler should have identical axles installed on it so since one is straight and one is cambered I'm concerned that your front one may be worn out. This can happen if you're adding quite a bit more front weight to your trailer -…

If there is a tiny bit of play in suspension components that are designed to move you would be fine. 1/16 of an inch isn't very much, and as long as you torqued everything down to spec you would be good to go. Ideally we just don't want it…

The axle is self-aligned by the spring center bolt so there's no need to slide the axle. Axle manufacturers weld the spring seat in a specific location to align perfectly with the center bolt/nut on the leaf spring. Once all parts are assembled…

You want leaf spring shackles to be at a slight angle as that prevents the springs from flipping around to the other side of the equalizer over uneven terrain. I attached a picture that shows what the angle is typically like.
