Thread subject: Whaler Central - Boston Whaler Boat Information and Photos :: Trailer axle spindle

It looks like I somehow managed to bend my starboard rear trailer spindle. After seeing the wheel toed out at 15 degrees relative to the other tire, I assumed I had blown the bearing. after jacking it up, the bearing is in perfect condition. My question is that this doesnt even really seem possible. Has anyone ever done this before

Here is a pic

A picture of the axel and spindle would help, but I would guess the spindle has rusted where it is welded to the axel.

I actually had a wheel come completely off, luckily in my driveway.

You might get luck with a spindle, most likely the axle.

You need a new axle not spindle, probably rusted out
