squeaky trailer question

[dgopetactical]

I have a 87 loadrite tandem trailer in great working order. My question is this trailer squeaks loud all the time when driving. Any little bump or turn it squeeks. I know some trailers do squeak allittle and have heard them at the ramp but mine seems to be an exception. I can not pin-point where it is comming from. I have checked all bolts checked for cracks in the springs etc have even oiled the crevices with no relief. Is this common?

I had an 87 Loadrite and now a 97 Loadrite and both made quite a bit of noise until I replaced the spring bushings on both trailers.

When was the last time the bushings where changed?

Re: squeaky trailer question

that makes sence,,,this is my second season on this trailer and I will assume the preveous owner did not. So i will say never. I will put that on the list to change out the bushings. I would emagine there is no safety issue with this correct. It might be a month or 2 until I can get to it or should I bump it up to priority?
Thank you,

Try and find polyurathane bushings if they're available. They last longer and don't squeek.
