  • Where Does Flat Washer Go
  • I was unable to find an order number so I'm not certain exactly what you are referring to, but in general a flat washer such as Washer For 1" Spindle # SW1000 will go between the outer bearing of your hub and the nut that holds it on, which essentially works to protect the bearing. These washers are used on spindles with a spindle nut such as Spindle Nut 1" # 165686 and Cotter Pin # 165649.

  • 2002 PT Cruiser Turn Signals Light Up When Being Flat Towed
  • Thank you for your purchase of the 7 pin wiring harness from etrailer, and there are a couple issues that may be occurring, but not knowing the harness you have on your PT Cruiser does make it more difficult. You say you are sure the wiring is correct, so I assume you have verified the proper signals are getting through, but I do have to mention that if not, I recommend starting there, and testing them with a circuit tester like # PTW2979. Another issue is that your 2002 PT Cruiser has...

  • Taillight Converter For Swapping 2 Wire Taillight Assemblies for European 3 Wire Taillights
  • As long as the taillights in question are incandescent, and not LED, the # 118158 converter would work very well for you. If they are LED, we've heard that installing load resistors like # DI34ZR on the turn signal circuits will create enough draw to make the turn signals function but neither we nor the manufacturer have tested this.

  • Aligning Tandem Axles When Repairing Trailer
  • When aligning tandem axles you simply want to make sure you are aligning them so they are square to the trailer frame. The easiest way to do this is with a simple measurement from the center of the trailer frame to the to the center of the wheel on both sides of the trailer. If that measurement is the same - or within a few fractions of an inch - then you know that you have them properly aligned straight to the frame of your trailer; you will want to do this with both of the tandem axles....

  • Will Roadmaster Guardian Rock Guard Cause Overheating
  • There is not an issue with overheating with the Roadmaster Guardian Rock Guard # RM-4000; the only caveat is that some owner's manuals do state not to use a vertical towing shield so you will need to check the manual of your '19 Colorado. If you cannot use a vertical shield then you can use the Roadmaster Tow Defender Protective Screening # RM-4700 for a horizontal shield. Either way, the transmission should not be creating heat when you are flat towing so there will not be an issue with...

  • How To Find Correct Wheel Bearing for Trailer
  • In order to find the correct wheel bearings you can take apart your hub assembly and looking at the bearings themselves; wipe away the grease and you should be able to see the part number stamped directly on them.

You can use the photo I've attached to see exactly where you need to measure. I've also added a link to a help article on common...

  • To add a second axle to your trailer, apart from the axle you'll need another set of hangers that need to be welded on, another leaf spring,four more U-bolts, an equalizer, four more shackle straps, and eight more shackle bolts. You'll have to measure your hangers for matching ones and reposition your current axle as well so I can't give you any specifics on what is needed.

  • Trailer Towing Capacity of 2018 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid Compared to Hitch Capacity

So the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13149, which is a fit for all models of 2018 RAV4, including Hybrid, has a 3,500 lb towing capacity but if you had a RAV4 without the...

  • How to Determine the Weight Capacity of a Boat Trailer
  • The weight capacity of your boat trailer is always going to be limited by the weakest component which could be the axle, tires, or frame. I would also keep in mind that not all tires with an F load range have the same weight capacity, it will vary by tire size. For example, a 235/85-16 tire with F load range has a 3,960 lb weight capacity whereas a 7.50-16 tire has a 3,197 lb weight capacity. If you look on the axle tag of your trailer axle it should list the capacity but if not you can...

  • Can Conical Tooth Washers on Fastway Weight Distribution Kit Be Reused
  • If the teeth have smashed, you'll want to replace those washers. Fastway doesn't offer them as an individual replacement part, but they are included with the # FA92-02-9600 replacement hardware/service kit. Without washers that get a good bite, you might lose the preload on the bolt, so you'll want to check the torque on them frequently until you can get them replaced.
