Hi. I've noticed that my trailer tyres are wearing unevenly, with the insides wearing far faster than the outside. I'm going to weigh it first to rule out overloading, but I suspect that either the wheels are out of alignment or the axle is bent. Who should I go to to check these things, a general mechanic, an alignment place, a panel beater or someone else? I'm not quite sure where to start! Thanks, Eleanor

Hi, I would take it to a tyre shop they should be able to measure the camber of the wheel and identify if it is the cause of the wear with basic tooling, if its bent then you may need to go to a trailer parts shop for advice on the best remedy.
