Broken MorRyde Suspension, Experts needed

[greetle]

Yes I saw that. MorRyde only makes the TO108-002 now, but interestingly the manufacturer was $50 less per spring, so I got it from them.

The trailer I recently acquired had its suspension replaced with torsion ride axles with 22 degree drop angle. It lifted the trailer up a bit but that is fine for my needs as Avion trailers are too low IMHO. He used 5000# replacement axles with 16.5" wheel with 6 lug pattern. His choice of tire was a truck load range E. This is similar to what an Airstreem trailer has. I think this is the one of the best upgrades for an Avion trailer. Another plus is no need for shocks.

I would be happy to take some picture for you if you like.

The PN for what he used was " #10 Torsion Axle assy 6-55 ez " He got them from Auto Safety House Phoenix AZ (602) 269-9721

He paid 825.28 for both back in 2016

Hi just wondering how you got on with your suspension, I've just bought a twin axle 1971, so would be interested to know if you'd managed to locate any spare Moryde parts? thanks Kevin

It's been a long time, my neighbor didn't have time so I had to find someone who I trusted could do the job. Found a great shop, they came out and temp welded it so I could drive it to their shop, dropped it off Tuesday, Should be a 2-3 weeks I am guessing based on their load. They are going to fix the one side and reinforce the other as well as swap out the springs I purchased.

I did replace the shocks on the good side, the ones on there were completely flat and what I believe attributed to this.

That’s good news, were the rubbers available direct from Morryde? Thanks again
