Trailer breaks sound terrible
The trailer has about 20-25,000 miles on it, when running over cracks in the road "tar strips" the break calipers jingle and rattle,
i know it's the breaks cause if I feather on the breaks enough to compress the tongue in some to put the calipers against the rotors it stops. Is there any adjustment I can make so there is less slop between the calipers and rotors? It's on a 2015 z8 tandem trailer.

You'd be surprised...jack it up and see if you have play/slop in your suspension bushings. Makes perfect sense that everything gets quiet when you tap the brakes because everything is under pressure. I had a tandem axle trailer under my 929 and thought it was the loudest thing ever until I replaced all my bushings and equalizer with Dexter EZ Flex systems. The only things that can make brakes rattle is the slider pins being worn and loose brake pads.

Well also when I was getting new tires installed I was playing with the calpers and it is the same noise. I'll look thanks.
