Get a torsion axle if it will work on your trailer....definately worth the extra $$$.

Before replacing any new parts check the rest of the trailer for rust to the main structure. I replaced all you have to replace and all rollers to find that the main frame in the rear was in just as bad of shape and not worth fixing. I did make a nice utility trailor after cutting off all the rollers and the rear. Go ahead as others have said and buy a complete axle as its not that much more.
