Troubleshooting Tires That Touch The Fenders On A Triple Torsion Axle Trailer
Question:
I have a 2008 Prestige tri axle trailer with torsion axles. I have an issue on one side where the wheels are stuck in fender. I don’t really want to replace all 3 axles. This is a yard trailer. Any reasonable options? I see some people convert to no suspension spindle

If the wheels are getting caught up in the fenders then you could either add in a lift kit (depending on the specific torsion axles you have) or remove and raise the fenders. Depending on the age of the axles the inner cords could be worn and allowing the weight on the trailer to press further down, causing the wheels to touch the fenders.
Remove the axles and switching to zero suspension would give you a terribly rough ride so you'll most likely be looking at moving the fenders or replacing the axles to get things back to the correct orientation.
