On the way home from the lake yesterday, and started noticing a thump that seemed like is was comeing from the trailer. At first though maybe had a knot come up on a tire. There was no place to pull over and by the time we made it to a parking lot it was really bad. After having my partner pull the trailer up slowly and determing it was on the front right hand axle, I could not see anythin on the tire, but could here a thump. after standing back and looking at it, I notice a lug nut missing. I reached down and checked the others and had 3 that were loose enough to hand turn. Took the wheel off (only one lug was tight enough to need the wrench.) and fould that there were 2 of the studs completly loose and one you could push pou of the whole. I am sure this was from the rim being loose and shifting on the studs. I bough this trailer from BCB back in the spring and have never pulled this tire off since owning the trailer. My question is am I a subject of foul play or has anyone else ever had lug nuts work loose? BCB – Do you think I will be able to go and have new studs installed? Or are the holes probably reemed out too much with all the play and I will need to order a new hub? This is a sealed hub (axle end unit).
