Here's the story I hope someone can help me with. i have a '94 Great Dane air ride trailer. I've had it a couple of years and never used it much, just a few light loads. The other day I had on 45k and I notice it was doing a some wiggling. I pulled over to check and saw that the curb side was about 2 inches lower the the left side. When going around curves or corners, the trailer would lean enough that the tires would rub cross members. The left side would not rub. Looking at the trailer from the rear, loaded, It is obvious something is wrong. The problem may have been there all the time, but may have not been loaded heavy enough to notice it.
Height difference is on both axles. Tires are all the same size and properly inflated. Only one leveling valve on center of rear axle All air bags inflate, But, there is about a 2" difference in their height (left side to right side) when inflated or dumped. I check for a broken spring, i didn't see one. Anyone have any ideas what I should be looking for under there? Thanks

Had that problem more than once. When MT they will sit level,loaded lean one way or the other.

Yes. When MT they will be fairly level,just sit a little bit lower. Once you put weight on the free side goes up.
