Suspension
The suspension on your trailer is Rubber Torsion type and requires no
maintenance.
The first maintenance check should be performed after an initial break-in
period of about 1,000 miles. A visual inspection of all suspension components and
attachment welds should be performed to reveal any obvious problems, such as
cracks or unexpected wear.
During this 'walk-around', it is essential to also check the torque on all
suspension fasteners. In the course of the initial 'shake down' period in which the
components of the suspension system 'seat in', as much as 25% of the original clamp
load on the bolted joints can be lost. After the parts of the suspension have worked
together for a very short period of time, re-torque the bolts to ensure that undue
movement are negligible, which results in excessive suspension wear, does not occur.
You cannot ascertain these torques values visually or by 'feel'. USE A
TORQUE WRENCH!
