Troubleshooting Uneven Tire Wear On Passenger Side of EZ Loader Tandem Axle Boat Trailer

Question:

Passenger side only - Front tire worn significantly on inside. Back tire behind this tire is worn significantly on outside. Drivers sided tires look evenly and appropriate to mileage. Your thoughts?

First I recommend checking the bearings on both your passenger side hubs. This side of the axle usually takes the most abuse as many roadways have either grooved or no shoulders. The bearings inside your hubs could be damaged or the axle nut may have loosened causing the tires to wear on the sides rather than evenly like on your drivers side. If all the bearings are good you will want to check the spindle itself to determine if it is bent and not straight with the axle.

Please let me know if you find any of the above parts damaged and I can help you locate replacement parts. Or if all the parts are in good condition I can help you with other items to check.
