Can a Timbren Axle-Less System Replace Just 1 Axle on Trailer with Tandem Torsion Axles
Question:
Can I replace only the rear suspension on my RV and leave the well functioning front Al-Ko torsion axle installed? Will they work on the same frame? FYI: This unit will go for 1 long trip to destination and thereafter travel minimal distance once a year.

Because the "spring rate" is going to be different between a torsion axle and a Timbren Axle-Less system such as # A20RS545 you would want to replace both axles. Otherwise it could have negative effects on how the trailer handles, its stability, as well as tire wear.
