So ive had this trailer for just over two years and the peice of dunk has been nothing but problems.It has had its share of time on the highway. Its a down 2 Earth 18ft flat hauler. Makes more racket than ive ever heard.(i think thats just the ramps bouncing around in place)

Last year at the Nasa Nationals i had to tighten one of the axlenuts because it had some play. Well now all the wheels have a tremendous amount of play along with some hideous tire wear all of a sudden. I have greased bearings and changed bulbs after bulbs, and rewired all the lights, does anyone else have problems with their trailer? I need help Quick!!
heres the tire wear and this isnt the worst one

heres the whole rig

 

Dude. You're really having the worst luck ever.

 

Change-the-wheel-bearings. I mean, the wheels have play, the bearings are what connects the wheels to the axles, seems pretty simple.

and keep up on maintenance after that.if you keep grease in them,and keep a check on tire pressure,you'll have very few problems.
every time we have a trailer come into work with problems,the owner has been very lax on upkeep.we very rarely see a failure for no reason.

Change the bearings. Low cost trailers have low cost bearings. An upgrade is a cheap fix. Keep them greased & adjusted and you should be set. Check them before you leave for a long trip. Treat your trailer like your race car and you won't have problems.
