I got them on a couple cow trailers,(24&a36) and love them but went back to springs and hangers on my bay boat and 3 axle offshore boat. Even washing them everytime they were in and out the water, could only get a year or two out of them we to springs and hangers and going on 5 years now. But half the year they get drug 500 miles round trip every other week or so. So they my not be bad if your not traveling distance like that. Again I love them on the two cow trailers, (no trouble in 8 year's) and they make 50-70 thousand miles a year, also have them on my lake boat, and they been holding strong after 4 year's

what is there to inspect???

torsion axles today are built with square tube and neoprene rubber cord.

there is nothing to break or wear out and if it did fail it would fail (only possible by the rubber falling out) it would just squat low in the fully compressed position (still not hitting the fender) and you just lose the shock absorbsion.

look into how boat trailer torsion axles are made today, they haven't been built with metal springs in them for many many years now.

read this and you will see a few designs of how boat trailer torsion axles are made today: http://www.ucfamerica.com/FlexirideT...EAKTHROUGH.pdf
