Nothing wrong with the clam style. I prefer them over the alternative especially if you're only hauling two sleds.
I noticed a cracked weld on the axle of my Triton elite and the axle was looking pretty rusty so I replaced it in December. Where the axle bolts to frame the frame had rot on the bottom so I had to fab up a 2" C channel in there to add some support to frame. Yes it had the isolator pads between the frame and axle. I've also had one of the axle to frame bolts seemingly break before because one was missing so I replaced all 4. Some things to look at maybe. Or just send it
Mine pulls a lot better with the new axle, much quieter even when empty. Before it would bang around when empty going over bumps but it's so much better now. I always thought it was just the enclosure but seems like it was related to the axle.
