Trailer tire wear question
I have a 2 yr old Trail Star BassTracker trailer with about 2,000 miles on
it at most. The left tire looks new but the right tire is wearing horribly
on the right edge (facing forward). I understand that is caused by a toe-in.
I don't see how I can make any adjustments to the toe-in unless I slide the
entire axle assembly forward or backwards along the leaf spring.Any comments on how to address this problem? Thanks from Rick |

| Check with a local trucking company and find out who does trailer alinement
in your area. Back in my trucking days I had mine checked twice a year.

| You can also have a bent spindle. Most alignment shops can check your
trailer. But check for axles set properly. Measure from the REAR of each
trailer side rail to the axle. |

| Axle alignement is important. The axle can be shifted, but tow in is
adjusted by bending the axling with a hydraulic tool designed for it. Get
in touch with the trailer manufacturer and ask them how it should be towed
and aligned. Then ask around for an alignment shop that knows how to setup
trailers. |
