And on a less pure definition, I would also add shocks to that . . . (yea, I know, some debate the need for shocks)

Checking for Imbalance of Running Gear

Would it be a dumb idea to put a human in the trailer and go for a spin on a flat open road? You would then be able to detect wheel-hop, bearing noise etc wouldn't you?

Thanks for the suggestion, Richard! I'm having flashes of Lucille Ball's attempt to cook while Desi pulled the trailer in their movie "The Long, Long, Trailer"! I might try a camera, but it's pretty clear to me that the trailer needs some axle and running gear attention . I have a Rosie the Rivetter bobble head doll that I can put in the window while we're driving. That might do the trick too!

Cheers,
