You probably have a bad shock in the actuator or need to bleed the brakes.

hydraulic actuator is causing that issue. possible brakes worn out, not enough fluid, or worn out actuator. I would start at the wheels and work your way back to the actuator. mine is doing it now, but wasnt a year ago. i pull my boat pretty aggressively with the truck. I have to do the same thing... gotta find whats worn out in the system.

I probably need to replace mine but have no idea what to buy if I just replace parts. Previous did not believe in getting and or keeping owners manuals. I do know that my trailer has a Buddy Disc brake system.

Just replace the whole actuator as a unit. They aren't that expensive and its saves a lot of headaches in the end. I've found that once one part goes out, it isn't long before another one goes out.
