Axle problems with travel trailer. Amount of carrying axles under these vehicles, not sufficient in size or strength to take the load or road punishment without failing. The consumer noticed that the vehicle did not pull properly. There was a side to side pull as it went down a down grade and would wander as it pulled down the road. This problem eventually increased to a violent whip. Upon inspection, it was noticed that there was a lot of uneven tire wear due to axle misalignment. The axles were found to support 8285 pounds.
