Shortening a trailer axle - Fail?

I make a trailer axle shorter but it does not go as planned.

I don't think that minor difference will ever be noticable. Again, a minor difference but I'd put the lower side on the right side of the trailer as the pitch of many roads puts that side down which will compensate some for the axle difference. I know yours is long ago done but others are doing this today and that's why they're here. Good job overall.😊

Hello Eddie,

[@jsulaicawesttexasbeekeepin9860]

Turn the heat up on that mig and burn in those welds in. Good little project. I hope it turn out good for you.

[@psgflier]

I don't feel quite so bad about showing my welds :). If you still have this you might try running a couple of weld beads on the long side, Start small and work up.

Hey Eddie. Nice work around. My opinion (if you don’t mind me saying), I probably wouldn’t have cut it in the middle like that. I would’ve been inclined to cut the stub axle join, and re-welded it there. But hey, who gives fat rats freckle what I think 😆

Reminds of the time you worked on that tower over in Italy.

Wack it on & see how it goes . Unless you are experienced with heat straightening , it can end up worse .

[@magnuscarlander2464]

Heat the "long" side upp and collit "quick" with a wet rag and it will straighten out

A little camber is good.
