The torsion trailer axle refers to a straight trailer axle with torsional elasticity, which is standing between the body and the frame of the boat trailer and is used to resist the rolling vibration of the body. If the torsion trailer axle is not installed in place, there is a certain safety hazard, and the boat trailer may malfunction during driving. The following is the correct way to install the torsion trailer axle.

Choose the location on the boat trailer for axle placement. Use the position of the wheel center and its relationship to the center of gravity to determine final axle placement and hitch load. Hitch load refers to the percentage of trailer weight the hitch can carry safely.

If your trailer has tube structured frame rails, refer to the installation kit specs to select your attachment kit and get the torque specs for the kit you choose. You can choose to mount the axle with a top mount kit or a side mount kit. The bolt sizes and torque specs differ depending upon which you select.

With the method of attachment selected, you must now align the axle or axles on the boat trailer frame. This is an exact, precise measurement with very small tolerances. Refer to the alignment diagram to see the illustration of the axle centerline in an exact perpendicular position to the horizontal centerline of the trailer. This is how your axle must be positioned.

It is recommended by the maker to use the side mounting hangers for tube framing. Use a torque wrench to install these side mounts to the proper tightness.

You need to know the distance from the center of the wheel to the bracket bolt holes. Pre-assemble the hangers onto the axle using the hardware and diagrams.
