I just checked the tire pressure on my four horse trailer and I noticed that the two 2 wheels on one axles wiggle a notch, if you push the tire. The other axle doesn't wiggle as it should be I guess.Any idea whats wrong and how to fix it? Just wondering before I take the rig to the garage.thanks for any ideas.

Have you checked all the lugs? I would also check all the bolts that have anything to do with that axle (i.e. shackle bolts, u bolts, etc.).

You may also be experiencing bearing issues..

Is the entire axle shifting when you wiggle it or each wheel independently?

I'm going to guess you got some "loose bearings"...  When was the last time all of the wheel bearings were inspected, repacked with grease, wheel seals replaced and brakes inspected and adjusted??? Has it been more than a year, or two, or three??? If it been a couple years, then you're past due for some maintenance.

thanks guys,I assume too that it has something to do with the bearings ( it's not the entire axle that shifts,just the two wheels wiggle).And yes, it's years since the last maintenance because I don't use the trailer often.
