Today we were coming back from the Lake on the highway going about 55mph I heard and felt something happen to the trailer. I thought for sure I had a flat tire so I pulled over to check things out. To my surprise there was no flat tire so I looked underneath the trailer and found to my disbelief that the brake caliber on the right side had broken loose and was spinning around inside the wheel. Whaaaaaat! One bolt was missing and the other bolt pulled through the axle housing . The last time I had my bearings repacked and new seals installed was about 18 months ago. I decided to continue slowly to the next exit and found a place to take the tire off and remove the brake caliber. The bearings and axle seemed fine so I put the tire back on and made it home. I may half to buy a new axle housing unless it can be welded safely which I doubt.
