Front Right, tire is wearing along the outer edge, the only one that shows wear. Any guesses to the cause, and can I rotate the trailer tires, what configuration? Was considering front to back and then check the wear in an effort to determine if an axle is bent??? Thanks.

Look at your axles carefully. Inspect the spring perch area. I had the same problem a few years ago and this is what I found. Axle was replaced under warranty.

Thank you, to my un-trained eye I see no problems like the one pictured, however after measuring cross-wise from shackle to shackle I found an inch difference! Talked with CW in Myrtle Beach and will take it in for an alignment on or around the 15th. Thanks again!

Ruck, I had the same thing with my Seville. The left rear/right front wearing on the outside. Hall's RV replaced both axles and tires under warranty before we came to the rally this year.

Tire wear indicates alignment issues or bad axle. The dexter manual indicated loss of camber or overloading.

Should be covered under warranty. Call your RV dealer or Lippert Service & Warranty to advise.Edited by: NorskeNY

Looks like a bent axle/ bent spring perch? Thanks for the picture! Will be checking mine. I did find 75% of the U bolt nuts not torqued to specs.

Had same problem on our rig last year, outer ridge of both tires on passenger side worn almost completely off in about 15,000 miles. Our owner's manual showed pictures of the exact wear pattern and said to contact the manufacturer.CR replaced both axles and two tires. No abnormal wear after another 10,000 miles.

Thank you. Am at CW now awaiting word from Lippert on fix. CW made measurements, took pics and filled out required forms, Lippert is supposed to make recommendations. Problem is, they are taking their time and not answering their phones or emails from CW. More frustration!!</span>
