Trailer axle issues can happen over time with wear and tear, hitting a bump, and neglect if things aren’t fixed. When axle problems arise, it’s important to get them repaired immediately or you could potentially take a hit to your budget. Terry's Auto Body & Trailer Sales are the experts at spotting axle issues and help with trailer maintenance and axle repairs. So how do you identify axle issues?
Usually, the first sign of axle issues starts from unusual wear-and-tear on the trailer's tires. If you’ve gone through a few tires this year, you need the professionals at Terry's Auto Body & Trailer Sales to identify the axle issue and repair it before having to use more tires again. A misalignment of the axle on the trailer can cause you to buy too many tires in a year from excess tire wear and possible consistent blowouts.
If the axle is misaligned, this can result in many issues including terrible gas mileage, expensive breakdowns, and vibration to the trailer. When the tires are uneven causing alignment issues, this can reduce the stability of the trailer and reduce the ability to maneuver. If this issue isn’t fixed by the professionals or maintained early on, you risk potentially losing tread and experiencing a blowout which is a severe safety concern.
Depending on how often the trailer is used, the axle should be inspected every six to 12 months and realigned to make sure your trailer drives straight without experiencing other issues.
