Trailer servicing/new trailer

[finnymurph]

Hi there, just purchased a 4.8m rib in Southampton and seller advises of new wheels and hubs. I'm in Ireland so any advice on trailer providers/servicing in Southampton area much appreciated. I would think its a costly repair so I might even be better off with a new trailer if old one could be traded in. It looks good enough in photos though. Thanks in advance. Finbarr.

I've just changed two custom made complete axles which I purchased from Peak Dynamics (Autow Ltd), because the suspension was shot on both, and the bearings rumbling on the one. It's probably easier to change the entire axle - four u bolts - than it is to change the bearings alone and the cost was only £150/axle. You might consider this.

P.s. on one axle, at my request and at no extra cost they used 70mm box reserved for 1000kg braked trailers, nice to have a little suspension in reserve when you are near to the unbraked limit.
Peak Dynamics make the axles for one of the major trailer manufacturers, I forget which.
