Bearing failure

[Theunz]

I think a lot of trailer owners don’t realize just how much stress they are placing on the entire suspension, wheel bearings, and frame when they “jackknife” their rig into a tight spot. Hint, the creaking and popping is trying to tell you something! It’s much easier on your equipment, albeit a little less macho, to pull forward a few more times instead of trying to crank it in with one move.
