Have a odd tire wear I can't figure out on tandem dual wheel trailer. Two tires on the right side front axle have inside shoulder wear so bad to point I changed a tire out and within 1000 miles it was worn down on the same shoulder and on rear axle it's the opposite wearing on outside shoulder and not as so fast but is prevalent.
All 4 tires on left side have no premature wear. This is with a unloaded trailer all springs are good, no brakes dragging and I'm not doing donuts in the parking lot with it.
There is a bolt right by the spring perch pad that looks to be an alignment adjustment if no one knows what I am talking about I will get a picture of it later, but what gets me is if the alignment was off on one side it would be for the other side. Bearings weren't ate up either, slight pitting on one yes but I have all 4 hubs off and all the bearings pulled everything felt tight.
Lastly for replacing the brakes on each axle is $400 per a side, so figure $800 per axle then add in price of new bearings almost cheaper to buy new axles.
