What Might Cause Tire Inner Sidewall Rubbing on Trailer Frame
Question:
I have a tandem wheel 25inch Toy Hauler. I just purchased the EZ Flex Equalizer and Shackle Straps. While putting it all together I noticed that the inside of each tire on the rear axle is worn on the inside. the springs have been mounted on the top of the axles. Also the equalizer on the passenger side of the trailer sticks up in the front part, where the rear of the front axle spring attaches, and down in the rear by about 1.5 -2.0inch by about the same amount. Thanks for any help here

Sounds like your trailer axles are a bit too short if the inner sidewall is rubbing on the frame of the trailer. Did you recently change to a wider tire? That could be the cause too. Your equalizer being angled shouldn't cause the issue you described but it might be an indicator that parts are worn out or the hangers are at the wrong distance between each other.
