    Hi Neil,

    I would be with Jim on this . . . I don't see how loose bearings would cause tire wear on the outer edge. If the wheel was running out of alignment because of this, it should track up and/or back . . . both of which would cause wear on the inner side of the tire.

    I wonder if you have the cause and effect backwards. Maybe misalignment (from some other cause) has created both the unusual tire where and the excessive bearing wear?

    Rob
    That’s certainly possible. My thought is to get the bearings swapped out and hit an alignment shop to see what’s going on. Could definitely be more too it. The wear was pretty extreme to be just the little wobble I saw.

      Thoughts on what I am looking for to find an alignment shop with Hunter equipment? Would you think I would want to start at a commercial trailer place or a heavy truck shop? My dad had a Allegro Bus diesel pusher we took to a commercial truck tire place to have his tires balanced, I am wondering if they would do it, but there is a big trailer place near me too. They sell everything from plow equipment up to big gooseneck horse trailers.

        Hi Neil,

        You might try coming at this from the other end. You want a "Hunter" measurement/analysis of your trailer suspension. What about contacting Hunter and asking them for a list of facilities in your area using their equipment?

          On edit: just noticed they left out part of my hometown's name - should be "Las Cruces." Funny! (Though many of us natives just say "Cruces" any way...)

            Thanks Rob! The one in Woodstock is pretty close, I’ll give them a call.

              As a former Hunter representative, service, sales, and distribution, I have been away from the company for a few years. Their website, www.hunter.com, had access to heavy duty alignment shops. I tried yesterday but was unsuccessful in accessing that information. But I learned of major updates in their heavy duty aligners to gain much quicker alignment data. Maybe some other computer savvy individual can have more success.

                Thanks I put a call into the shop in Woodstock, IL near me and he stated that will do an alignment on a trailer so thats a good start. Rig was at the detailer last week, so I will be calling him this week to get it in hopefully.

                  Good to hear! I hope the alignment reveals root cause. Our original fifth wheel was 2014 Reflection 337, which had Correct Track cams which we took to a Hunter shop in Colorado Springs. They were able to dial the axles to perfect thrust/scrub angle, which did help. I hope your fifth wheel has the Correct Track, seems GDRV went away from them. Eagerly awaiting your update!

                    Nope no correct track, thats part of why I was unsure an alignment shop would be able to do anything other than change the axle anyway.
