As soon as any weight for any duration is applied to those bolts they will snap.

Fatigue anyone? Also, what's going on with your triangulation? It's a piece of crap, go get it weighed in.

also you have made single axle trailer and intend to put a car on it. Have you calculated weight distribution etc? Why do u think everyone who makes or sells a car trailer has a low body and twin axles?? That will sit way too high and not tow in a straight line

I don't actually think the dumb fucker intends to put a car on the trailer I think he means that the axles came off a astra gsi and they used to hold the weight of an astra so should be ok to carry what goes on his trailer.

those bolts arent used to hold the weight of the load on the axle look

bolts are there merely to add support to stop the frame sliding about, doesnt look that unsafe

TBH I doubt this trailer will fall apart, as long as you don't load a car on the back or something it will be fine.

So them 3 shitty welds are the only thing fixing the axle to the frame?
