Suspension › Rear › Springs › Leaf spring assembly › Hanger/bracket

Summary: The spring-hangers, which are brackets located on each side of the axle, have a tendency to bend when subjected to repeated or severe jolts or stresses. Eventually they may break, causing the axle to become detached from the trailer and forcing the towing vehicle off the road.
Remedy: A drawbar apparatus will be installed to provide additional support to the spring-hangers. Any damaged spring-hanger assemblies will be replaced without charge to owner.
