Check your shackles and bushings while you're at trying to find the culprit. Have you seen how bad it can get? Things can really wear out...almost dangerous in some cases. Make sure everything is nice and tight. Then take some measurements from the center of the axles on both sides to see if they are lined up. You also might check measurements from the end of the frame (front and back) to the center of the axles also. Process of elimination may take a while but at least you will know where things are.


Thanks for those tips!

It took 4 years to wear out the tire (idk how many miles, since years doesn't count, they don't wear out parked in the driveway) and you're planning on dumping it in a year?
Slap a new tire on it and hit the road! Stop overthinking it, IMO.

Measure half way up the rim on both wheels on the same side of the trailer. . On the forward axle mark the rear of the rim and the rear axle mark the front of the rim.. Do both sides. Measure the distance between the rims. Are they the same.
