Think hes trying to tell us his trailer has developed a case of "dog trackin".
Any trailer repair shop should be able to get it pulling straighter. They might need to pull the rails lose and reset them or replace then along with the pins. Shouldnt take them more than a day. -
When sliding tandems make sure truck and trailer are stright, dont slide with truck and trailer in different angles, puts pins in wrong holes and bends rails, hope a shop can fix it for you.

We charge around $179 or so Canadian. But that isn't for all trailers. That is the standard price for regular two axle torque rod or Hendrikson Quick Align suspensions. It is generally an hour per axle. If you have the welded collar suspension we have had some worst case scenarios of over $1000 due to the time to cut the welds and reweld. Most of the time tire pressure is a big culprit. If you can't see the trailer dog-tracking to one side or the other, check that first.

Check the wheel bearing adjustment as well. If you have an air-ride trailer, might need to replace the shocks.

Usually,"dog-tracking" is caused by bent,broken or worn components.If you are mechanically inclined you can ID most of them yourself.A simple alignment shouldn`t take more than a couple of hours at a trailer shop.
