Does Tire Rubbing on Inside of Trailer Fender Indicate Bent Trailer Leaf Spring
Question:
I have a 2006 tahoe transport toy hauler and noticed passinger side tires dont rub inside fender well but driver side rubbed through the plastic fender well cover. Not much room between tire and frame of trailer. Is that s sign of bad leaf springs?

Hey Scott, it's potentially a sign of a bad leaf spring but that's not something that happens everytime a spring wears out so I wouldn't assume that for sure as the problem. It could be bent suspension hangers or other components that are bent related to the suspension but the only way to know for sure is to inspect all of it and see.
