Here's some measurements:
left front and right front are 148" each from the hitch to the edge of the rim. Then from hub center to hub center, the right rear is 3/16" further back then the left rear. The tires don't show any unusual wear. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) All I can think is that these were both older tires. KT |

Trekkor,
I know 3/16" doesn't sound like much, but just think if the alignment on your car or truck were off by that much. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) |

My front left blew out this time. With equal measurements. Old tire.
The trailer tracks very nice. No whipping or pulling from side to side. I'll go double check my measurements. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) KT |

My trailer is sitting on uneven gravel and I'm not sure the measurements are accurate.
I'll have to pull it out on flat ground. I guess the "right" way to do this would be to put it on stands, no wheels, and then measure. If it is indeed out, can I safely oval the pin locating holes to adjust the axles? KT |

You may want to weld a small piece of key stock or something to hold it in place after you get it set just right. Check it several time before you do this. |
