2014 5.0ta escape owners. If you have one of the few trailers that we’re built with tandem axle leaf springs, could you post a photo of the shackle straps that attach to the equalizer between the 2 axels similar to my photo. We just had new shackle straps and greasable bolts installed and it seems that the tolerance between the shackle straps and frame has been reduced. As I didn’t take a photo before the work was done, I can’t remember what that looked like.

Hi: sagegundog... You may want to google search Dexter Leaf Spring Equilizers. My trailer has them but it's in storage still. Alf
