Loose Wheel Bearings?

cant give firm advice, but i would think loose bearings would cause the outside edge to wear, like it does on steers.

 

I've "heard" the same thing... would be a cheap thing to have checked. Are you running wide singles by chance?

 

to check frint end is easy. Jack up steer axe side by side and using sufisticated tool, like a big pry bar try to check wheels for play. I advice U to check bearings and pins for play.

 

well, ok..... any axe ID info?

 

I found this article that cover a lot of information. We have seen a few times that irregular inside tire wear is being caused by excessive axle flex. You would have to measure the camber of the wheels when the trailer is fully loaded to check this.

find you a good alignment shop with a shaker to put the truck on. it wil find everything that is loose

 

A cheaper way to check them...... Buy you a 20ton bottle jack and a long bar about 3 1/2'. Jack the wheel up so you can spin it. Stick the bar between teh ground and the wheel and see if you get any movement when prying up. When prying put your other hand at the top of the wheel so you can feel it move. Also make sure brakes are set up so the shoes aren't against the drums and the wheels turn.
