Hi everybody, we noticed 2 days ago that the tires of our boat trailer are rubbing on the axle. Do any of you have advice on what might be wrong? We have a torsion axle and the trailer is " only" 7 years old. We didn't hit a curb or anything..
Thank you

Assuming that you haven't recently changed your tires/wheels to some that are wider or have a different offset then I would guess that your tires are under inflated and that is allowing the sidewalls to balloon out into the torsion arm.

Rubbing on the torsion arm perhaps, and not the axle per se?
