So I have a dual axle trailer. Brakes on the rear axle only. Right(passenger side) rear tire consistently wears way faster than the others. Wear is even over the whole tire.
I would think if it were out of alignment some how, it would track poorly or cause poor wear elsewear.
Logical to think that brake is maybe hanging up causing greater resistance to movement?
Or a bearing is seized up.....
Or only the right brake is working.
Left brake is confirmed to be working. I can lock them up on dirt and drag the trailer. No idea if one releases later or not.
Depends on trailer weight and vehicle towing, check alignment.
I had one tire wearing faster than the rest on my previous trailer. Ended up putting new wheel bearings on it and the problem went away. The old bearings looked good and turned smoothly.
Another possibility is weight load on that wheel from say that corner being lower than the others. Yes, I know there is a bogie and such that everything swivels on. But if it was improperly installed, or the bushings are worn on that side, it can cause it to be lower than the others, and take more weight load.
How about a bent axl;e, causing toe to be out on thet wheel? If you have 3 pointed the right direction, and one aimed a different way, the one will die.
