Had sprung type axles on previous travel trailer and I had a more trouble with sway. My brother has a gooseneck flatbed with torsion axles rated for 12000 and he hauls every ounce of it with no trouble except that when empty they do bounce a little more than springs. Our 16 ft flatbed has springs and measures about 103 across the tires. At least if you let the trailer set for a long time between uses the torsion axles won't get stiff like the spring equalizers will. I have straightened spring type axles by bending the spindle but I think a good alignment shop could do it to a torsion one also. None of this helps your problem I know. jerry</p></blockquote><p></p>
