After reading this I am a little worried. I have a 2012 28brs that at the end of last season I brought to the dealer to have the axles flipped, it was just too low to get in and out of my driveway as well as certain gas statons etc.... When I went to pick up the trailer to take to storage the dealer told me I needed new tires and showed me how the inside had wore (they looked just like the ones in the pictures on this thread). He indicated that the wear was because they were cheap bias plys and that a good set of radials were recomended (not really what you want to here from someone that sold you the trailer).
I am now preparing to get the trailer out of storage to have new tires put on and every tire dealer I have been to for quotes that I have told about the existing tire wear says I should also have an alignment done. I would have thought that if the dealer flipped the axles that they would have had an alignment done if it were important to the safety of the trailer. The reason I had the dealer do the work is that they are an authorized North Trail dealer. So I called to confirm if an alignment was done and the answer was "no just bring it over to Fleet Brake and they will align it it shouldn't cost much" I paid $600 to have the axles flipped and upon calling Fleet Brake found out it will cost me another $345? This thread leads me to beleive that my axles may be bent I can only hope that if the axles were bent the dealer would have said something when flipping them but then again I thought they would have aligned the axles???.
Anyways I am removing the rims tonight to take in for new rubber tomorrow and will inspect the axles at this time because there is no scents going to the alignment I booked if they are bent. Maybe I will be calling lippert too??? Fingers crossed.
