Spring maintenance is crucial for the safety and longevity of your trailer. Regular inspections can prevent costly repairs and ensure smooth operation. Inspecting the springs for any signs of damage or wear is essential. Look for cracks, bends, or rust. Check the spring mounts for any signs of looseness or damage. Ensure all bolts and fasteners are secure and properly tightened. Inspect the spring shackles for any signs of wear or damage. Ensure they are properly aligned and secure. Lubricating the springs and related components can help reduce friction and improve their performance. Proper lubrication can extend the life of the springs and prevent premature wear. Consult your owner’s manual for specific lubrication recommendations.
