Trailer Axle

[Duffer]

I have a Spindle thats totally hooped is there anyone in the Comox Valley that anyone recommends to either weld me on a new spindle or build me a new axle? 2 inch galvanized. I have measurements. Im not sure which route to go right now have been pricing out new axles will go that way if I have to. Appreciate any ideas.

Courtenay Spring and Welding did mine. New 3500 lb axle with spindles and backing plates was $320 (for the axle not the labour to install).

I know cr springs makes them in campbell, but not sure about galvanizing. You can get new spindles welded on(Daigle has them) but the heat from welding wrecks the galvanizing. I bought one from cr springs and they are heavy duty, I just primed and painted it and figure it would outlast the rest of the trailer, that was 10 years ago and still see the trailer at the ramps.

Yeh Im hoping I can go this way Im pulling the axle off tonight and bringing it in tomorrow to see if they can do just that, anyone replaced a Spindle and had any issues?
