Title: Trailer Question
Post by: Durand Dan on October 09, 2008, 06:52:09 AM
I have a single axle trailer with leaf springs. The passenger side (right) tire developed flat spots on the outside edge. At first I thought it was just a bad tire, but I changed it and it appears that the new one is might be starting to do the same thing.

I'm wondering if the axle is out of square to the trailer or I have a spring problem. To eliminate one issue I changed the inner and outer bearings last week. Maybe this will help, but it looked like the old bearings were fine.

Any ideas, or has anyone had the same problem?

Did you have the tire balanced? Also check the rim to make sure that it isn't bent, you may have hit a curb or pot hole and bent the rim.
