I have a single axle 6x10 utility trailer with a couple problems. First thing is when im pulling it down the highway, empty or loaded, it seams to shake my vehicle. It does this for about 5 seconds, then stops for 5, then does it again, the whole time at highway speeds. I can really feel it in my steering wheel. My vehicle does not shake when im not pulling this trailer so it has to be the trailer. It has not always done this which leads into my 2nd Problem.
The inside of these newer tires are wearing unevenly, almost like chopped if you run a hand over them. A trailer mechanic told me the only thing that causes uneven tire wear would be a bent axle, bent spindles, or bad bearings. Bearings are brand new. I put a straight edge across the outside of the wheel and measured from this straight edge to the frame behind and in front of the tire. The measurements are 1/16th of an inch difference, maybe an 1/8 of an inch, idk what this tells me? Measured from the axle to the back of the trailer and those measurements were the same.Any help would be great.
