In regards to whether you did it right or not, check out this thread.

Repacking bearings

Was the trailer tracking correctly before the bearing change ?

[mike11]

no it wasnt but it seems to be getting worse

If you've done it before, and it all went together without any issues I don't think it had anything to do with it, unless the assembly wasn't as tight before, allowing for the tire to right itself.. but I think you'd have other bearing problems if that were the case.

I would speculate you have a badly bent axle, or at least a spindle. If your axle was off position, it will tow more on one side (you can see it in your mirrors) but the axle, being perpendicular to the road, will always track straight.

The weight on your trailer can also influence tire wear.

thanks valv from calling around people are saying i either have a bent spindle or the weld on the spindle has cracked
