When I installed my Correct Track Alignment system I also replaced shackle plate connectors, bushings and bolts with the upgrade kit. All original equipment was in need of replacement after just two years. Here are pictures of the finished install.
Wow... Another bad weld picture. What year trailer and miles driven on your trailer. I installed the Mor Ride kit on the trailer in my picture and the link will get you to some options.
Thank you for the link. Trailer is a 2015 Trilogy 38RE that we purchased new
(leftover) in July, failure was noticed with a grand total of 1845 miles on rig since we left dealership.
I also find it interesting that every failure I have seen has been the right rear shackle....
Right turns are tighter than left turns and would probably put more pressure on the rear right shackle. Your picture does not look like the weld had much penetration. I would have all the other shackles checked during repair to be safe.
