Troubleshooting Why Equalizer is Touching Frame on Triple Axle Trailer

Updated 02/17/2015 | Published 02/16/2015

Question:

On a triple axle trailer with slipper springs the rear equalizer sits at a angle touching the frame and the front equalizer sits level. Should both be the same or is that normal? I double checked hanger spacing and every thing is correct

It is common to have a slight variation in the position of your equalizers but one should not be touching the trailer frame.

I recommend checking to make sure that you are using the same equalizers, springs, and center hanger size in your set-up.
