Are Trailer Equalizers Designed to Move
Question:
I have a trailer with triple axles and it shakes at random speeds and I have replaced all tires and wheels. Now looking at equalizers I realize that they are moving. Wondering if this could be my problem? They are EQ-310, do you sell the bushings for these? And what about the shackle brackets? And those bushings?

Expert Reply:
Equalizers like the part # TREQ310 that you have are designed to move or pivot from side to side to allow the suspension to work properly and distribute the load of varying road heights evenly to all axles.
If the bushings are worn out we have the part # TRBU11566 which are the correct replacement bushing for the # TREQ310.
