Tire Wear

[ScottMallard]

I have a 2018 MALLARD M312. I haven't traveled to much maybe less than 2 thousand miles, I have a problem with the driver side rear tire on a double axle (Dexter) wearing out the inside wall of the tire, the rest of the tread is fine? I have replace 2 tires and now looking for a reliable service tech. Any suggestion on what maybe causing this.

It sounds like you may have a bent axle.
Take it to a truck/trailer alignment shop. They should be able to help.
Some shops here.

bent axle would be my 1st bet, or out of aligment. Find a heavy duty truck aligment / trailer repair shop

Also, check your hangers I have one that is welded out of square to its mate so. I guess the axle would want to turn in a circle going down the road.

I have to give thanks to Dexter, they sent me 2 complete axle assembly's for FREE. So while I have the axle's off I will upgrade the equalizer and shackles, any suggestions?

Here is a couple of devices from MorRyde:

I would also look at the Wet Bolt Kits, which has larger shackles, and greaseable bolts with brass bushings.

Hi Guys
Have a question for ya.

I have a brand new mallard 28 bought it in 2023. I am the only owner and she has never been further then 200 miles, until this tri.
There is no bent axle as it went from factory to me. all tire are exactly the same wear, tire pressure is exct in each tire withing a pound. I would say no more then 1200 total miles on them.
I am a catastrophic loss adjuster and this month I deployed to FL for damage assement.
I drove 95 s to St Pete, put her on a pad worked three weeks and returned home.
There was no bad roads, or monster pot holes. the rear passenger tire on the rear axel was worn almost to the steel belts when I got home, which was 1389 miles
Any thoughts on this, As fas as breaking the trailer tracks true, nothing out of the stands out of place trailer is not loaded to one side sits on frame correct and level while towing.

Thanks in advance

I would take the trailer to a big rig trailer shop. They can do an alignment before you replace the tires.
Google search for a shop in your area and check with them.

You definitely have something out if alignment. As stated.. get it checked.

Bent axles are easy to spot. Don't ask me why I know! If the axel(s) are flat or bowed down in the center, they are bent. If the axle(s) are bowed up, they are as designed as supplied. Had to have my axles fix twice after going across the country twice on or Big Horn.
