1987 loadrite tandem
replaced bearings, seals, races had them matched up at napa. no #'s on old ones. Installed them fine. Brought the trailer home from my shop 5mi. jacked the trailer up to swap some tires and rims out and noticed my front brake axel the wheels on both sides were wobbley the non brake axel was good. I tightend the castle nut on both wheels and everthing is tight now. Im sure the nuts were tight when i did the job so why would they loosen? I am sure all the races are seated properly. I triple checked.
I also noticed with the new seals etc. all the hubs run 1/4" - out more than the old ones. when you look behind you can see where the old seal ran (shiney). is this normal? Have not had the trailer out yet since, taking out next weekend. The onlything I can see what happend is they hung up on the brakes or something.
