    I was having road service repair a punctured tire and the mechanic pointed out that the linkage on title was bent and didn’t appear to be installed properly causing the trailer to ride higher. Mech said if trailer rides to high on air bags it could separate... I’m not sure if I’m recalling that right.

    After some research on my end, I do concur with the mechanic (bent and improperly installed), but I don’t have the experience to gauge if there’s an actual danger. Company breakdown wants me to bring to yard versus getting it fixed locally.

    They at least told me to roll to yard with it.

    This is bad.
    Not very bad but close.
    Something is way off with the height valve.
    Have the compagny deal with it.
    You will be fine till then.
