Great video! I'm a sort of an overkill guy, so I would take a few minutes to wire brush and inspect all the welds on the suspension perches. With all that wear on the other parts it is a good chance you may find something. Oh, and always spraypaint the bare metal after.

Just discovered my driver side equalizer in this exact shape today. Completely bottomed out. We have pothole issues in our area.

I have a small tandem axle ubuilt trailer I just bought at the start of this summer. When it’s empty I might as well have no shocks in the back of my truck. It starts bouncing up and down and doesn’t stop. It will also shimmy side to side. Tires are all new and so are the wheel bearings. Initial measurements haven’t shown a bent axle. I do have about a quarter inch difference in the distance between the two axles but that’s it. Camber seems to be good. What else would cause that?

How did the hanger hole not get worn too.l? I have one worse than yours and the hangers are warbled out too.

I noticed the floor jacks are not supporting the axle weight but you have them on the trailer frame is that the recommended placement for the side your working on? I have a fifth wheel Dexter suspension and the manual says do not Jack axle. Thanks

I have never seen an equalizer that worn-out. How did it not wear through the bolt?
