I will check the dual tires have no debris between them, the rims line up, there, there is no gap between them, the tires are not touching, and they are all the same size.

I will check my tire ICD and rims as in the front except the tread depth should be no less than 2/32 of an inch on these tires, 4/32 on my steering tires.  Retreads are allowed here and on the trailer, but not on the steering tires.

I will check for signs of loose lug nuts on these steel rims which would be blacking or rust trails, or shiny threads.

I will check my brake drums and liners as I did in the front.

I will check the brake hose, chambers, push rod, and slack adjusters the same way as I did in the front, except for 2 inches of play are allowed in the rear, only 1 inch in the front.

I will check my axle seals as I did in the front hubs.
