Trailer Suspension Service & Repairs
Your trailer suspension system is important. It connects the axles, brakes and wheels of your trailer to its body (frame) and does the grunt work of absorbing heavy blows from the road. The spring is the core component of any suspension system. Whether your trailer suspension system is leaf spring suspension, independent trailing arm suspension, air ride suspension, or independent rubber suspension (torque flex), we can inspect and service it. We specialize in suspension, so you’ll know your trailer is in good hands when you bring it into Spring Works.

Electric Trailer Brakes
Electric brakes are a popular choice for trailers, offering several advantages over traditional hydraulic systems. These brakes connect to your tow vehicle's electrical system and are controlled through a brake controller, allowing for smoother and more responsive braking.
We Service All Types Trailer Brakes
Hydraulic Trailer Brakes
Another common type of trailer brake is hydraulic (surge brakes), which operate using fluid pressure generated when the tow vehicle brakes.
There are two main types of trailer hydraulic brakes: disc brakes and drum brakes. Disc brakes offer better stopping power, fade resistance, and wet weather performance, while drum brakes are typically less expensive but may not be as effective.

Trailer Inspection
Bring your trailer in for a complete inspection before you get ready to tow it. We’ll look at the following:
● Tires and wheels: Tires should be properly inflated and at the right tire pressure, inspected for damage and wear.
● Breakaway and battery: Your breakaway should function properly and your battery should be fully charged with clean connections and be operational.
● Electrical: Check lights, plug and wiring to ensure proper operation
● Suspension and frame: Inspecting leaf springs, shackles, hanger, bushings and the frame is an important part of regular inspections.
● Coupler and hitch ball: check for wear and proper fit
● Hooks and chains: We’ll check for damage and wear.
● Brakes: If you have electric or hydraulic breaks, then you’ll want to inspect the operation (including bearings) to make sure they’re performing at their best.
In addition to inspecting your trailer before you tow, semi-annual inspections can ensure that your equipped trailer’s gate and door hinges are properly lubricated and that your wheels, brakes, and tires are in good shape.
We highly suggest the wheel bearing be repacked and the brakes inspected during this inspection. Ask your advisor for details.
