Are the Rubber Springs in the Timbren Axle-Less Suspension Systems Available Separately
Question:
What is the service life of those rubber springs? Are they sold seperately?

The heavy duty hollow rubber springs in the Timbren Axle-Less suspension system # A4WS440 are going to last at least as long as traditional leaf springs. Since they are rubber and not steel they are more corrosion resistant and if properly maintained the system could outlast a traditional set up. There is no official mile or year count on the springs or system since there are so many variables to factor in (weather, load, area traveled in, storage, and so on).
I spoke with my contact at Timbren and the springs are not available as a separate part. However, because the springs are designed to last the lifetime of the trailer should one go bad my contact said they would find a way to replace the spring.
