Slightly OT: How to test trailer leaf springs

Aug 20, 2012 24 Replies

Trailers do not have shock absorbers as a general rule. People are not riding back there so ride quality is not a concern.

Trailer tires are generally not balanced, either. Again, it's a ride quality issue. Nobody there to complain, so they don't bother.

How do you define "trouble".

I posted my question because, as I said, things to be bouncing around more in the traielr. As I said, the spare tire let loose and ended up in the middle of the trailer. It's possible that next time it will break something.

Isn't that "trouble"?

Have someone jump, and watch underneath. Maybe some anti grease.

Does anti grease make it squeak more?
