Will Timbren Silent Ride Hold Up in Salty/Snowy Conditions
Question:
How durable and corrosion resistant is this spring system when being used on a snowmobile trailer that goes thru SALT, SNOW, etc.? Are there grease fittings at the pivot joints or how do you recommend keeping these pivot joints lubricated? Comparable Torsion Axles are sealed in the enclosed axle housing and have proven in my experience to have less corrosion and fracturing issues that the spring leaf designs and issues with pivot point joints. I like the design and ease of installation, just want to make sure it has a chance of holding up in a SALTY environment. Thanks!

We haven't had any negative feedback for the Timbren Silent Ride # TSR7000T04 when used in snowy/salty situations. It is powdercoated and all of the hardware is zinc coated so it would hold up well. Unless there was a stainless steel option out there this would be best option. There are no grease fittings on it though and it does not require regular grease maentenance.
