What bushings are you referring to? The trailer is a 2008 but was barely used when I got it (60 hours on the generator). I greased all the wheel bearings and replaced the tires with Maxxis E rated before I used it. Let me know and I'll check out the bushings.
thanks!
I don't think that worn bushings have a big effect on sway because they are thin and add little slop when worn. The bushings are in the leaf spring ends, if you have that type of suspension. That said, you most likely have the nylon bushings and they are rapidly wearing against rusted parts after ten years. If you expect to use this trailer quite a bit, consider installing a wet bolt kit so they can be greased.
