[QUOTE="sportsman, post: 455080, member: 23834"] Hook your trailer to your tow vehicle, find a smooth level parking spot, walk behind the trailer about 25 feet or so, and sight between the front and rear tires to see if the worn tire (rear) is in line with the front tire, both vertically and laterally. Check both sides. Measure the distance between both tires on both sides, see if they are the same. Visually check everything you can. It takes only a small amount of alignment difference to wear a tire. How old is the trailer? Check the u-bolts, the rear axle could have come loose. From the picture, it looks as if the rear axle has negative camber. But that could just be an optical illusion. Just my opinion though. [/QUOTE]
