Subject: Re: Ranger Trailer Axle

Most likely an axle but several other things to check first. Lift trailer so that wheel is off ground. Grab top and bottom of tire and push/pull wheel to check bearing play. 1/8 inch is acceptable. Check C bolt on hub/axle trailer arm to see if bolt is torque 150lbs. Check for negative camber and toe out on worn wheel axle. Measure distance between the same tire groove on left and right same axle tire. Measure both front and back of tire. A difference of 1/8 inch is acceptable.
The axle is pretty easy to replace if you choose to do it yourself. 4 bolts hold it to trailer. Cost is around $400. As Chris said, call Ranger warranty first. They have new procedures now so you may have to go through dealer.
