Should Spring Seats be Welded to Trailer Axle
Question:
In your last answer to “what happens if you don’t weld the spring seats #TRSS300 to the axles #8327834” I would like you to clarify your answer. I am not a mechanic so could you please explain in detail what you mean by “Axle might turn in the spring seats.” Also, what is the consequence to having the axle turning in the spring seats? Is this dangerous?
