Fab1 Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 With wheels the main thing to keep an eye out for is rust,dents,cracks,broken/split welds,missing/broken nuts,missing weights etc. I won't go into great depth here as rust is obvious enough if you are unlucky enough to be dealing with steel wheels. Most wheels will be either alloy,powder coated alloy or galvanised steel these days. Alloy wheels will tend to crack and galvanised steel will tend to buckle/dent. This is a common place for an alloy wheel to crack. This is an example of a dented and cracked alloy wheel,look for similar in galvanised steel. Later on when I crawl underneath the trailer is when I look at the insides of the wheels/tyres for damage and finally jack the trailer up for a quick bearing inspection. Have a quick look that all the wheels haven't got missing wheel nuts,weights,dust caps/buddies or broken studs also. Basically look that the wheel has minimal corrosion and is as it should be. Pt 3 will be the trailer frame and accessories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
