fishhuntwork Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 I just got my boat out of storage today and now the trailer squeeks on every bump I hit. It is a bunk trailer, can the springs be squeeky? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harvey lee Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 I would look at the springs to make sure one is not broken.Try and spray some lubricating oil on the springs and drive it for a bit and if that does not take care of it, then one can go from there.

SkunkedAgain Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 I thought that all trailers squeaked. My new trailer squeaked when I drove it off the lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RebelSS Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 +2. Mine does with side-to-side sway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat K Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 The side to side sway usually means not enough tongue weight. Try moving your winch stand forward an inch or 2 or moving some of the heavier objects in the boat to the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigtom Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Grab a set of wrenches and check all of you bolts. If you hear squeakes and it is not you boat moving on the trailer, sand in the springs, or wheel bearings, you may have a loose bolt. Last year I had 3 loose u-bolts on my 05 shorelander and it stoped makeing noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
