Yes. The thing on the U-bolts. Do you think it snubs vertically or in rotation? It seems to bear on a circular plate.

I recall some discussion of moving the swivel point (forward or back). Would shortening the wheelbase offer more or less leverage for what weight exists?

I thought rubber in torsion was supposed to include shock absorption. My Westfalia trailer has only Cellasto™ elastomeric snubbers. Axles + Chassis | Westy Trailers
