Rubber rods from Axis

The question becomes, if the axle tube is determined to be history, will the customer pay for the labor that it took to get that information.

Most people, I would think, would say either "no" or your just saying it's bad, when it may not be.

Way, way to much trouble for a large corporation to get involved with.

I wonder how Axis knew what diameter the rubber rods were used, since different axles use different diameters.

I was going to send a sample. Adios, John

Technically, the original axle would need to state to a third party that the rebuilt axle was of substandard character, in writing, for it to be libelous.

Otherwise it would be simple slander.

"The first report of the fork as an eating utensil dates back to the 11th century, when the Venetian daughter of Byzantine Emperor Constantine Ducas used a small gold one. While forks were widely used by the upper class in Italy during the late Middle Ages, they were not known in England until 1608"

"George Washington Carver (1864-1943), an African-American educator, botanist and scientist from Alabama's Tuskegee Institute, began to promote the peanut as a replacement for the cotton crop which had been destroyed by the boil weevil. By 1903, he developed hundreds of uses for peanuts in recipes. In his 1916 Research Bulletin called How to Grow the Peanut and 105 Ways of Preparing it for Human Consumption, he has a three recipes for peanut cookies calling for crushed/chopped peanuts as an ingredient."

Google is a wonderful tool.

All this and not one comment about trailer sway induced by the center of gravity being raised with new 37 degree axles. Hhhmmmmmm... Adios, John

We supply replacement axles with a 35 degree starting angle.

No one yet, in several years has noticed or found any change in handling be cause of the increase in height.

Those that have taken the time to make a post, have all, without exception, stated that the overall handling improved.

It is also wise to travel with a full water tank, which helps the location of the center of gravity.

I think you got it right.

If the axle Speaks, it's Slander.

If the axle Writes, it's Libel.

If the axle falls apart, it's had either a mental or physical breakdown. Hard to tell from where I am, tho.

I think you have made a very wise decision. Now you have piece of mind knowing that those tubes and rubber rods are new.That you have had the brakes apart and know exactly what you are dealing with.
As far as a change in height changing anything ,I cannot feel or see the difference. I never measured before I changed axles but I am confident that I gained at least 4 inches in trailer height .If anything it has improved the ride a 100%.
Although it cost a few more bucks my axles ordered by the serial number fit just as good as the old ones I took out.I was able to pickup my axles at the Henshen factory. Its an amazing place.
I have no doubt you will not have a problem with the axles switch ,I did it with only some lumber ,a floor jack,2 four wheel dollys(furniture) and an impact. It took me 3 hrs to do the switch and I'm 70yrs old.
Good Luck

Thanks Andy for the reply. I am eagerly awaitting my new axles, I hope to attend the 2009 FCU rally with my new axles installed. Adios, John
