shackle position?
Hello,
My dad and I found an old trailer on our property that seems to be salvageable. The one thing we can't figure out is the leaf spring shackle. It's a single axle trailer (actually, they're just two spindles...not "axle" at all. Anyways, the right leaf spring shackle is above the mounting point (trailer bed is lower to the ground) but the left side spring shackle is down, below the mounting point (trailer ed higher). We can't figure out which way is correct, or how to fix the wrong one! Any suggestions? Does it matter? Thanks.
