Title pretty much says it all.
I have a utility trailer with tandem 3,500 Dexter axles and if the trailer is plugged into the truck there is an audible “thump, thump, thump” noise coming from the brakes. The noise starts as soon I make the connection.
The brakes appear to otherwise work properly.
This has happened on my last identically equipped trailer as well and it does it with 2 different trucks hooked to it.
In both cases the noise only started after the trailers were a few years old.
Any ideas what is the cause and fix?
