I use Spruceland brake all the time. Around $150/axle. They do great work and in and out same day I drop it off. Tell Allen I sent you. Maybe he’ll hook you up with a better deal. Lol

Depending on the weight rating I'd just go buy a new one from PA and be done with it. New brakes, bearings and hubs all in one.

I don't recommend city spring.

My one bald tire turned into 4 bald tires. Then got a pissy attitude and no action when I took it back.

Hey Tyler, You have leaf spring axles right? They can be straightened but torflex axles cant be straightened. I had to buy 2 new axles that were custom made for my trailer. They make them in Swift Current. I cant remember the name of the outfit. It was only my front axle that was wearing out the tires but I had to buy both axles because the old ones were sagged out. $400.00 for each torflex axle.

I had both axels on my Fuzion trailer bend... City Spring aligned both axels for me 360$, havent had a single problem since, and I have put roughly 10K on the trailer since then.

not sure on entire axle but for other components ie magnets, drums,brake assemblies etc i have just about always found fleetbrake priced better than pa
they also sell dexter parts which are more $ but I believe that alot of times its worth the extra dough...
something makes me feel better when the bearings dont have chinese writing all over them
