Your 45mm Round Axle may be perfect for your trailer, caravan or camper. If you are towing your rig straight and true, perfect if not then below are a few tips.

45mm Round Axle Common problems:

• Too much weight will bend this 45mm Round Axle to experience excess axle flex. Axle flex occurs when a heavily laden trailer spring rebound on the highway, causing the 45mm round axle to flex up and down or vibrate in the middle of the axle.
• Springs fatigue and fail prematurely under axle flex or overload conditions. Once your load is over 1450kg, you will experience axle flex.
• Axles and Hollow axles that are incorrectly selected for the job you require.

If your axle is 45mm Round and bending, buy a 45mm square axle and update it to 1.5t. It is not very expensive compared to replacing springs that have suffered fatigue.

Other Common Problems:

• If your 45mm axle is not properly engineered, you may experience excessive bearing wear.
• Are your tandem tyres wearing unevenly? Here is a link that provides an easy method to test your axles.
• 45mm Axles must be examined before installation for cracks in the steel along the axle. Some suppliers supply non-virgin steel or scrap steel and forge this steel into solid square or round shape for axle production.
• Chinese bearings are the second biggest cause of axle failure. If you are planning highway driving, use Japanese bearings. The combination of Japanese Bearings and 45mm Axle will greatly help you with lower rig maintenance.
