Axle-Less System & Electric Brakes For 1998 Jayco Eagle 12 UDST
Question:
I have a 1998 Jayco Eagle 12 UDST. It has a 2500lb single rubber torsion axle with 10” hydraulic drums. The hydraulics are not functioning. Do you carry replacement torsion axles with electric brakes. For a straight swap? I’ve read rubber torsion axles have a limited service life. So replacing the entire axle with new brakes sounds like the best choice. Thank you!

Expert Reply:
We have an option for you, but do not have torsion axles for your 1998 Jayco Eagle 12 UDST. What we do have that will work is an axle-less system with electric brakes, and while there aren't 2,500 lb options, there is a 3,500 lb system:
- Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System w/ Electric Brake Hubs # A35RS545E
The # A35RS545E comes with the hub and drum and electric brakes, and give you an improved ride compared to a traditional through-axle. The reason for that is the Timbrens aren't connected by an axle beam, so they work independently, meaning if there is a bump on one side of the road it won't rattle your entire trailer. The system also has progressive springs built in which are shock absorbers that allow a much smoother, more comfortable ride than the leaf springs found on standard axles.
