Re: [A/S] Re: Running gear balance & Quality Questions
Just got my trailer in late August, but checked bearings and brakes before
towing home. Replaced two tires. My drums had weights welded on so I assume
they were balanced at some time without the tires.
I intend to replace the other two tires and shocks this spring and to have
the wheels balanced on the trailer if I can find someone that still does
that! I'll let you know if there is much out of balance of the assembly
compared to having wheels balanced only. It appears that balanced drums are
not the norm and who knows what you have unless you have them balanced as an
assemble. This is probable more critical as the trailer gets longer!
