Hey guys,
I really have never hauled anything excessivly heavy in my dump trailer until a few weeks ago. I was hauling some dirt and gravel. The heaviest load being 3 tons of gravel. What I noticed is when I was backing into places and turning the wheels of the trailer were tilting in and out as the trailer turned. I know the tires scuff a little when turning, but that looked a little weird to me. The trailer was not over loaded its a 10,000lbs GVW and empty weighs 2700lbs. Any info from you trailer pros would be great:laughing: The trailer is only 7 months or so old.
Edit: The lugnuts are tight I already checked:laughing: But there is play in the wheel when you pull from top to bottom, like when checking ball joints on a car.
Thanks, Dave
