[QUOTE="SuDZ, post: 331606, member: 10131"] I was given this trailer recently and it needs some work. One of my main concerns is the tongue. It was once overloaded on a trip when the previous boat on it was used as a landscaping trailer one day to transport flowers. It has a twist in the tongue that makes me a littler nervous. I wasn't sure if this is a big deal, or not. Is it something that would need to be replaced outright, or do you think it's a deal breaker as far as trying to get this trailer back up to snuff. It's not a sideways bend in it, just just sort of like someone grabbed it, and turned it a bit. I tried to get a good picture this morning, but the shadows were making it a bit tough. If better ones would help, I'll be more than happy to take some. Also, when I turn one of the wheels, it gives me a loud clicking. it's pretty synched up with wheel speed, getting closer together as the wheel turns faster. Think it could be a bearing?
