I have a 7000lbs trailer tandem axle. I had my tractor on it today and hit a bump and hear a loud noise. When I got home I noticed the left rear wheel was off the ground and the axle was up in the air on the left side. I pulled the tire off and hit it with a sledge hammer and it went back into place. How can I fix this problem tighten the bolts on the springs and connectors?

My guess is thst the bushing inside the the spring eyes are wore out (gone) and the bolts are also worn to be no longer round. i would replace them all.
I just replaced a spring on one of my horse trailers and was surprised how worn the bolts were. Be advised those are special hardned bolts with self locking nuts on them.

My question is should I buy all new sleeves or just buy a hanger kit from agri supply for $38.95? It comes with all the hardware with all hangers and spring connector. Need advice if it is goin to take a bounch of time to press the old sleeves and and press the new ones in it is worth the $38.95 to just buy the new kit. The springs seem ok on the trailer but not sure I fI should just put new springs on as well the run $13.95 piece a agri. Any thoughts?
