Keystone!
When I bought mine 4yrs ago I noticed that both equalizers were "leaning" about 1 1/2" out of vertical. I called Keystone and sent pics. They asked if the dealer used a skid steer of fork truck to move the units. Yes don't they all. They told me it happens when they turn them too sharp and drag an axle. They recommended I get the alignment checked. I did and it was still spot on. I have towed it over 20k since with no bad tire wear. This spring I needed to remove the coroplast to access a dump valve and found the beer can crossmember at the equalizer area broken off both frame rails!
