Bassmeister Posted July 30, 2020 Posted July 30, 2020 Can anyone recommend a good place to service my Ranger trailer in the NWA area? I have very excessive wear on the inside of one tire and think maybe there’s a bent axle. I hesitate taking it to a boat shop due to turn time and cost but maybe that’s best. Thanks in advance!
Dutch Posted July 30, 2020 Posted July 30, 2020 JWM Trailer Sales in Reeds Spring is where I have gone for several years. They are very knowledgeable and do good work.

sfiser Posted July 30, 2020 Posted July 30, 2020 you might call Wolfe Boatworks and see if they will work on trailers. they do good work on boats and have a good reputation. also bella vista marine in Rogers has done work for me and is very good, surely one of those 2 spots will do trailer work
fishinwrench Posted July 30, 2020 Posted July 30, 2020 I've been seeing alot of that on the newer trailers. Seems like as soon as they went to the newer fluid trailer bearing crap, something about the axle is off. I'm not sure what the fix is. I'm not too sure that it isn't either the trailer frame or the suspension. Always one specific tire wearing uneven. If the axle was bent it would be both tires on that axle.
Terrierman Posted July 30, 2020 Posted July 30, 2020 I'd go to a trailer sales and service shop. There has to be a metric ton of them close. Google is your friend in a situation like this.

Mine is a z185 so only one axle. Which is likely why it has an issue. That’s a lot of weight for one axle.

Regardless of the weight the wheels shouldn't toe outward. Especially not only one of them. Who makes their trailers ? I'd call them.

fishinwrench Posted July 31, 2020 Posted July 31, 2020 Ranger Trail were made at Wood mfg. before the sellout.
