Location: Mt. Zion, IL | Loaded question. Do you balance the tires? Do you check them for wear every 200 or so miles? Do you check the hubs for endplay every 1000 miles? Do you check and adjust the air pressure based on temp? Have you chalked your tires to know the pressure you need for your load? Have you measured between the tires front and back to make sure they don’t scrub? Measured from the ball to the center of each hub to ensure square? Is the load rating for your tires capable of carrying your load, and what is the speed rating for the tires and bearings? Age above is a good suggestion, but much more comes into play.
IMO people maintain tires and trailers about like most do batteries. Trailer axles are not made in ways they can be aligned easily. |
