Drift Boat Trailer Help - kjox21 - 10-26-2020
Hey guys,
I bought a used drift boat this spring and have put around 2k miles on the trailer and last week I noticed something odd. Both tires have a section of the tire on the inner half that is wearing different than the rest of the tire. Meaning its more bald
I took it to a shop and they said my axel was bent/twisted due to the boat riding too far back on the trailer causing not enough
weight. So when I was going over bumps and roads the bot wasn't centered over the axel. I had a buddy say that doesn't sound right. Can anyone confirm if this is a likely cause. Thanks!
Kyle

Doesn't sound right to me , is this the trailer that came with the boat new. Not sure what shop you went to. If I was having abnormal tire wear the first place I would go would be Alignment Specialists in Salt Lake.
