Troubleshooting Trailer Suspension that Starts Shaking Over Small Bumps Around Corners

Question:

I have a 2000 EB trailer all loan number and when I go around the corner and hit a little bump it starts jumping up and down so bad I have to stop and it keeps wearing one tire out on the same axle fairly quick

I'd be willing to bet you have a worn out suspension component that's allowing too much movement and is what is starting the jumping you described. Try inspecting all of the components of the suspension and look to see if you can find anything that looks too worn out or with too much play and fix as needed. Look around the shackles that attach between the springs and equalizers for holes that are out of round.
