![HOW TO ACCURATELY PLACE AND SQUARE TRAILER AXLES ] Step by Step instructions](/img/1.gif)
Great job explaining and diagnosing!
Thanks man! I talk too much. I also repeat myself too much.
Interesting video man. I appreciate your deductive/scientific approach to figuring this out. I've got a similar problem so will follow your approach
I was working on another trailer with similar issue but lost the footage. You can use a straight Edge horizontally on the front and rear of the axle too.
@@tysoddjobs Dang footage is either hard to find or scrambled from the minute you try to record it. thanks man!
I have the same exact wear on the left front. I'm going to check measurements and see what I come up with. thank you for this vid.
Good luck! Also use a straight edge on your axles to verify they aren't bent.
will do, they seem pretty straight looking at them. @@tysoddjobs
The last trailer I repaired for uneven tire wear looked perfect. But a 4ft straight edge really made the bend shine.
Have you come up with any results?
right side axles are approximately 3/4 farther apart. Not sure why yet I have been busy with other projects.@@tysoddjobs
Great job ❤
Thank you! Appreciate you checking out my channel!
What would cause a dump trailer to wobble between 30-45 mph?
Cheap/poorly balanced tires. A bent wheel. A broken/sprung spring are things I've seen. Also, if your brake controller causes your one or multiple wheels to lock up, you can get flat spots on those tires.
I have a single axle 6 x10 utility trailer. Just noticed today that only the passenger side tire is toed out. I can't find any issues. Wondering if the bearings might be the issue.
I have never been able to prove bearings were the issue. I would be the axle is bent. You should be able to rub a straight edge along either the front or rear side of the axle and see if it is bent.
It does actually look like it could have a slight bow/bend, but I don't understand why both wheels aren't toed out.
Thx
The last trailer axle I repaired was bent on one side only. And only wore that side. I lost the footage due to computer failure, but j assumed they hit something. It wad pretty easy to see with a 4 foot straight edge on the front of the axle. I couldn't see it at all without the straight edge. Actually nearly guaranteed the customer the axle was fine. Ate my words for sure. I have the axle still.
Your going to burn your hair off kid. Great video.
Yeah. I keep meaning to buy a cap. I do burn a lot of hair. Thanks for watching!
Which axle needed the new leaf spring?
Passenger side rear axle
Ive got a 16x7, both the left side tires front and rear wear evenly but they are almost bald compared to the other side. I replaced all 4 tires at the same time. Do you have any idea?
Any chance you have more weight on that side consistently or pressure off?
I would also measure your axle centers and see if driverside to passenger side are the same. Does it pull straight behind your truck?
@tysoddjobs yes pulls straight, it's usually loaded with a tractor so it's pretty balanced I would think. I used a string line to measure everything, so I think I'm going to try again with some square tube like you
