I have a rinker fiesta vee 250 (28 feet LOA), and my trailer is a dual axle with brakes on the rear.
My trailer axles seem to be leaning like they are overloaded (only visible from wheels) The bearings still seem tight... And everything seems tight but it just doesn't look healthy. It tows fine but i'm worried im going to drop an axle hitting the wrong bump.
The trailer's actual structure is solid and holds it perfectly but I'm not sure about the axles, they might be 2-3500lb. axles. Apparently the boat weighs #8000. Does this seem right? So that would make them designed for #7000, right? Also, i was told you need ST tires on your trailer for the weight handling. mine say "Z-215/75/14R." i'm not sure what the z means?
i was going to put 2-6000lb. axle replacements on but its going to be about $600 a piece @ princess auto. is there a cheaper place to buy them in canada???
thanks in advance.
