I went to IND over the weekend for some trail riding. On the way over, we noticed that our trailer was being pushed around by the wind and that it seemed like our WDH was too tight, allowing the rear wheels to be too light.
We got off the road and fixed that, but it seemed like our "bars" were not evenly weighted.. the left took way more pressure to hook than the right one, even though they were both on the same "chain number".
I know over time metals get soft, and basically these bars are springs, but has anyone else had their bars at the right chain height not be about the same pressure?

Did you hook up the left (harder) one first, then the right?I know when I hook mine up, the second bar hooked up is always 'lighter' than the first one...

Jbnsy...I think roadranger may be correct. I would bet money they are not bent or "soft". Park on level ground and remove the tension...are they the same distance from the trailer frame? No WDH can be bad and so can to much weight distribution!

Thanks for the ideas. I will be hooking up this weekend and will try the tests. I usually am pretty methodical and always hook up the same way so I will try hooking the right side first next time.
