Ranger Trailer tire rubbing fender

[Jsgibson]

I have a 2014 Ranger 521. Bought in a couple years ago. The back tire on right tire is rubbing the inside fender. Not rubbing all the time but it is very close to fender. The back left is not rubbing but it is close to the fender, less than 1 inch. Any advice on how to repair this problem. Thanks

Check ur spring shackles. Sounds like you lost a connection. Or a bent spindle.

My 2016 was doing the same thing. Have you checked the spindle arms where they attach to the splined axle? They have a well known problem of the bolt that clamps arm to the axle of coming loose. I have changed my bolts to grade 8 bolts. Basscat uses the same dexter axles on their trailers and they change the bolts before they leave the factory. Jack it up and grab your wheel and see if you have movement. Many ranger trailers have had wheels come off due to this

Check the Ranger page. there is a informative thread on there about this issue.

Thanks for the link info.
The spindle arms are very loose. I will try to tighten or replace.
Again, thanks for the info...

Use the search tab top right of this page and type in Ranger Trailer Spindle, a bunch pop up.

You need a new axle, you either have a broke bracket or bent axle. Its a common problem with Ranger torsion axle.
