Worn equalizers, elongated bolt holes, seized bolts, missing retainer hardware, and deteriorated bushings can create sloppy suspension movement, uneven axle loading, and extra stress through the trailer frame. Inspect both sides of the suspension before replacing individual parts.
- Check the Hangers: Look for cracks, wallowed holes, or bent hanger brackets.
- Check the Springs: Confirm spring width and inspect the spring ends for wear.
