    I am needing some advise. I have a 200 Dorsey reefer Trailer. on the right side I am having same tires go bad. Can some one tell me what that might be and a solution to the problem. This is critical to my business,I would like honest answers. Im a small fleet cannot afford to loose a trailer right now. I dont want a company to charge me for something that dont need to be done either. if you have any answers please contact me at [email protected]

    When was the last time it was aligned? Check the wheel bearings for play.

    +1, check alignment, bearings, are the rims serviceable? Easy stuff to figure out.

    I had a spring ride 53' that did the same thing. Replaced the equalizer on the curb side and it never did it again.
