Sorry, got to ask the obvious…..how long since you last serviced the bearings?

That amount of corrosion didn’t happen overnight

If you can wait for it Champion Trailers makes custom axles to your exact spec. Takes about 4 weeks the last time I had one done. The latest I had done is a 2x3 drop saddle center section with 6,000 capacity. This gave my trailer a big safety margin combined with 12” brakes and 225/75-15
Load Range E tires.

haha. Right!? I know. It was a while, obviously. I'll never neglect that chore again.
