    The thing was in fact bowed out when I got out and looked at it so it wasnt the mirrors, front axle was even with the rail on one side and even with the edge of the deck on the other. It was an old 45x96 spring ride that was beat all to hell and back so it doesn't really surprise me

    Yes. I had a load recently and my trailer looked like it was bent like a ( when I looked at it in the mirrors...got out and it was all fine and dandy. Figured I'd better do a little mirror adjusting lol

    I know this is like 2 days old, but if you look in your drivers mirror and match up the straight line on the road with the trailers wheels, match the drive with the trailer wheels, are they about the same distance from touching the lines on the road? A little harder to see on the curb side, but same idea to give you a clue if the trailer is off track.
