    2022 Tracker 175 TXW trailer leaf spring replacement

    Went from 3 layer to 4 layer leaf spring ...the ride is no different. Slightly heavier than old springs. The mechanic who fixed it specializes in trailer suspensions and frames so i am pretty sure he knew what he was doing.

    It is a Nitro 750 ... the leaf spring split in half ...looked like rust. In the center. It is a galvanized trailer. The mechanic who fixed it said he has seen this before. When he repaired it he put heavier duty leaf springs on it.
