Easy way to check suspension attachment points.
Have the trailer on a flat and as near level surface preferably smooth concrete. Make sure trailer is level.
With a plumb bob attach to the bolts that go through each spring hanger and the equalizer hanger. I loop the plumb bob string on the front side of each hanger through bolt.
Then I lower the plumb bob until it just touches the floor. With a magic marker I mark these points on the floor. I do the same for the coupler at the front center of the coupler.
Then move trailer away and make measurements.
I would not expect to find any comparable measurement more than 1/8 inch in error.
If the hangers are OK then suggest checking for a broken spring or a sheared spring center bolt.
I had a friend who found his trailer hangers on one side of the trailer were one inch behind the the other side.
