Location: Stones throw away...finally!!
Noticing some abnormal wear on my tandem axle trailer (2002 620 Ranger Trail). I have had the axles aligned several years back, but am going to be purchasing a set of new tires soon and am looking for feedback...specifically, align the old ones (40-80 per axle) or look into buying a set of new axles from Ranger. I am guessing it is from potholes and such, but if one is better than the other, I may prefer the better choice. Cost obviously comes into play, but want to do what is best. I am not having any other issues than the tires wearing unevenly (outside edge). Anyone have any experience with either option? Possibly some place around the cities that could do the alignment? Thanks.

Take it to a Frame and Axle shop and have them align the axles. Do this right after you put the new tires on.

It may not be the axles but an issue with parts of the trailer itself. Take it to a Ranger dealer and have them check it out. Worn out shackles and bushings will cause abnormal wear on your tires. Had mine replaced last year for less than $200. All is good now.
