    Default Trailer troubles


    Had a violent shake in boat trailer. It was shaking the boards loose. Balanced all 4 and still shaking. Checked springs and hangers nothing loose. I picked up trailer and spun each wheel individually and had a tire with a 5" rise on one side. Installed new tire and problem fixed. One tire had flat spotted

    Don't talk about trailer troubles. My axle is back in Jackson at Jackknifed Trailer Repair now, again. I lost a dust cap on the pass. side and didn't know it. I think I'm gonna weld the next one on.

    I've got an out of round problem on my pickup now. Had them rotated and balanced, still shaking. Instead of through the wheel, now I feel it through my seat and feet. Left rear I'm thinking. I've jacked it up and can't see it. Problems like that are a pain if they're not readily identifiable. Glad you found it.

    If you jack it up and put in gear you will see it.
