Just looked up my bearing numbers on etrailer by the number first, instead of by the 5200 pound axle.
Inner bearings are 25520/25580 and are used on 5200 to 8000 pound axles
Outer bearings are 67010/67048 and are used on 5200 to 7000 pound axles.
Doesn't seem like my bearings should be near their load limit.
I need to pull a wheel and hub and mic the spindle. Also check my suspension components, see if anything is loose or worn. Thinking back, I wonder if I have some movement back there. I remember something about my new clamping wheel chocks being different side to side at the end of last season, like wheel center distance wasn't the same. I wondered what was different about the chocks at the time, now it has me wondering.... maybe it wasn't the chocks. hope I wasn't close to losing an axle!
You may have found the problem. Worn out bushings in springs, bent axle, or hanger problems such as bent broke even.
The tire should be worn out too especially on one side.
