Suspension · reported Aug 2, 2007
The I-beam frame on my 2004 skyline rampage toy hauler trailer is cracked in 6 places just above the axle spring hangers. The cracks are approximately 4 inches in length and run horizontally along the frame. If the cracks were left un-repaired the axles would separate from the trailer and cause a loss of property and possibly life.
