Why is Trailer Tire Wearing on the Inside Only?  

You may be experiencing some wear in the suspension components that can cause tire wear and also be a symptom or cause the axle to be misaligned. Inspect your suspension components and if any of the holes where hardware goes is egg-shaped, that…

Typically a trailer axle will have some camber in it - some bend - such that when it is not loaded the tops of the wheels bow outward slightly, with the outside edges of the tire treads making first contact with the ground. This allows that when…

We carry the Timbren Axle-Less System rated at 5,200 lbs part #ASR5200S01. The axle-less system mounts to your trailer frame and takes the place of your old axle and springs.#ASR5200S01 is a straight spindle design. Timbren also offers these axles…

There are a number of issues that can cause irregular tire wear but generally this would be the tire wearing more on one side, not necessarily that the entire tire has worn faster than the others. If the latter is true then this could be an issue…

The amount of bow that's put into trailer axles like the #7359765 is based on about how much a trailer is typically going to weigh that has a 3,500 lb capacity. So there's a bit of approximation and obviously it can't be totally perfect…

While the simple answer is yes, you can replace your 3,500 lb axles with 5,200 lb axles, it will require a number of all-new parts and isn't going to quite give you the safety margin you are looking for. The reason for that is because capacity is…

To determine if there are compatible hubs and associated bearings to replace your current hubs to a more standard size you will have to take several precise measurements on the spindle of your axle. It is recommended to use a set of dial calipers to…

If you know the brand and weight capacity of your axle, we should be able to figure out what bearings it uses and what hubs are compatible. If you do not have that information, the next best option is to use the bearing part numbers and the weight…

If you are talking about adjusting the camber of your trailer this can be done by a professional at a trailer alignment shop. There's really no way to shim hubs as they are only held on by the one spindle nut at the end of each axle. The 4 bolt…

I consulted with our resident tire expert, and we're both at a loss. Heat build-up caused by over or under inflation, overloading the tire or failing to observe the speed rating of the tire (65mph in most cases) are the typical causes of…

If the rear axle trailer tires are supporting more of the weight of the trailer then they would wear out faster. There are couple of adjustments that could be made to try to even out the load on the trailer. The first would be to more evenly…

If you have the weight in the trailer more towards the back then that could cause the rear axle tires to wear quicker. You will also want to check the suspension components to see if anything needs to be replaced. Worn suspension can lead to…
