That's a good question, and it wouldn't be just the spindle itself that gets replaced on the Timbren Axle-Less systems, it would be the whole spindle arm that would need to be replaced if there was any damage. If you take a look at the photo I added of the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System # ASR2000S01 you can see that the spindle arm is a separate part. So to replace the spindle you would just unbolt the arm and then bolt on the new arm which has the spindle on it.
As for a listing of parts or how much, they are not available aftermarket, which is why you don't see that listing, so you would need to get them from the manufacturer, Timbren. So if that's something you are okay with, you will want to go with the 2,000 lb rated system for a 1,200 lb trailer. Here are the options for you, with the "Wide Tires" being for off-road trailers, and the "Regular Tires" being for standard, on-road use.
- Timbren Heavy-Duty Axle-Less Trailer Suspension - Straight Spindle - Wide Tires # ASR2KHDS02
- Timbren Heavy-Duty Axle-Less Trailer Suspension - Straight Spindle - Regular Tires # ASR2KHDS01
- Timbren Heavy-Duty Axle-Less Trailer Suspension - 4" Lift Spindle - Wide Tires # ASR2KHDS03
- Timbren Heavy-Duty Axle-Less Trailer Suspension - 4" Lift Spindle - Regular Tires # ASR2KHDS04
