was going fishing… but had a bearing go out and thought no biggy, easy pop and swap and head out… well, let this be a friendly reminder for us… check your stuff often, even if you think it is just surface rust … lol… luckily for me i was in my yard and not on the road…
looking online and these folks look decent… (http://www.sturdybuiltonline.com/) anyone ever use them? pros and cons? or anyone have anyone local to Beaufort, SC that i can go to?

I don’t know any trailer stores down there.
There are a few in Charleston,but that’s a good haul and you could probably pay shipping charges by the time you drive up and back.
I have ordered from them in the past with good results.
In the Beaufort area there is Mashburn`s boat trailers and Beaufort Boat and Dock Supply.Both are great people to deal with.
How bad is the axle? I can’t tell from the pics exactly, but it just looks like a busted leaf spring and a rusty hub.
I actually bought a new axle from Sturdy Built a year and a half ago. It is a Dexter. It is a quality axle and they are good folks to deal with. I have since bought other odds and ends from them. Their price was cheaper by a good bit than anything I could find in Columbia at that time.

for my money i would give Wesco trailors a call in Cayce. they have great stuff at very reasonable prices. worth the trip.
since the trailer is a 2002 with the front axle bad, i am going to replace both of them… thanks for all the tips… i do have a local guy looking, and if they come in to expensive i will order online… the good one will be used for “spare” if i need it…

There’s a trailer shop behind Gas Light Square in N.Chuck, Iron Knight Trailers. He has everything you need more then likely to rebuild a trailer. Also Seels carries stainless U-Bolts.

2nd for wesco in cayce, rebuilt mine and couldn’t believe how inexpensive it was
Hard to tell from a picture but if the front axle is bad because of the spindle,they are easy to replace.
