What's wrong?
The pivot bolts on the 2014-2015 Wilson Grain Trailer and Livestock Trailer are part of the suspension hardware. They hold the suspension pivot in position so the trailer tracks straight behind the tractor. The suspension depends on those bolts staying intact under road load and trailer weight.
On affected trailers, the pivot bolts have an intergranular quench crack where the bolt head meets the body of the bolt. In plain terms, the metal has a crack at a high-stress point near the head. That crack weakens the bolt and can allow the suspension connection to loosen or shift out of alignment.
Owners or drivers can notice the trailer becoming misaligned with the tractor. That is the warning sign to watch for before the bolt problem leads to a larger suspension issue.
