I asked this question at the local trailer shop yesterday. He told me he'll replace a rusted axle on an aluminum trailer, but will not on a tubular galvinized. His point being, the axle is made out of the same stuff the rest of the trailer is made out of, its not worth putting an axle under a trailer that is probably in the same shape as the axle. Glavinized trailers are disposable. However, he did say c channel galvinized to tend to last much longer than tubular

Welding Galvanized
It's not the axle, its the rear cross member...The axle is new, well about a year old and the rest of the trailer is in excellent shape, it's just that the rear center crossmember has a rust hole in it. If I could get a replacement crossmember I would be happy to just replace this piece, but EZ Loader doesn't make the replacement parts for my model any more......Thus my dilemma....

well that guy i will tell is full of it ask Randle as well, i just bought his old galv trailer axles springs shot rest of the trailer you would think is brand new and it's an 88 model. i've seen alot of trailers that were steel and the axles be the only thing shot, it does depend on the brand as some brands cut corners and do crappy galv jobs and others do extremely good jobs and those will out last aluminum.

I didn't dig them all the way out so its not an exact measurement, but its close to 68". They are approx 3" square tubing, with a slight v. The measure ment istn't their linear length, but rather the total width they occupy
