What is causing this? It forces the wheels so close they are almost touching.

Any tips on how to prevent this?
Notice all the wear on my old shackles was on the rear axle. I have a tri axel fusion 404. With a moryde 3000 setup.
Why would only my rear axle be the only one with such excessive wear? I'm thinking something is wrong there. The shackles don't seem flipped or anything.

Any help is appreciated.
My trailer's shackles are identical to yours. IMO the picture 2nd down on the left has a broken shackle. Also IMO the shackles in picture top right are not properly installed.

I broke a set of mine once while turning on pavement exceeding 60 degrees. Luckily my brother-in-law had some scrap metal and made me a couple of replacements.
