The problem is: I am in europe, and the A/S is in maryland. Since most of you have more "hands- and eyes-on " experience then I do, can you take a look at the pictures and tell me what you see ?

If its in real bad shape it may make sense to fix it in the usa, instead of shipping it over first. Thank you for your help !

The axles should be visually checked according to the following article.

They appear not as good as they could be, but not as bad either.

If you want axles then put them on before you ship the trailer. Freight to Europe for just the axles, can become expensive very quickly.

It also appears the the trailer does have rear end separation, more so on the left side than the right side.

Again, be careful who corrects this problem for you. Some know how to do it correctly, others do temporary repairs at best.
