That's an important point!
Scamp axles are now trailing-arm, so it would be good to check with the factory if you have an old Scamp and want to use a new axle from Scamp to make SURE you get the one you need. Especially if you have electric
brakes. They only work going one way.
I turned my leading-arm Dexter into a trailing-arm Flexiride and it tows beautifully. Although it towed just fine before, so for me it didn't make much change in towing. (Other than that I now have suspension and can put more than 20 PSI in the tires without initiating bouncing-ball-mode.)

I'm sure there are many more including mine. I went through the analysts-paralysis also when deciding.
