Sorry, for the lack of details. I was on my phone. Yep, Dexter torflex axle. It was a 1998 triton 2 place covered. The axle rusted to the point of seizing up the joint due to rust. It just hammered out the frame rails on the trailer. At least it didn't leave us roadside. I would always re-pack the bearings yearly and jack from the axle. I don't notice an issue what so ever. I'm not complaining just interested in maintaining and preventing it for another 12-15 years or so. BTW, I actually called Dexter and spoke to Bob in engineering. He seemed truly interested in our problem and surprised, by our issues. He indicated that they hadn't ran into any issues on there long term corrosion testing. I truly got the impression that he was interested. But,.... He wouldn't offer up a safe lubricant for the rubber insert within the axle. Oh yeah, I took the tire off and tried to beat the arm loose in one direction or the other with a 3lb hand sledge and a 1hr PB Blaster soak. No luck, locked up solid. Still bought another trailer with the same axle.
