What temps were you seeing Ricky D? It's not unusual to have a slight temp difference between axles or sides . The grease will not melt until 350 degrees or so. All grease will eventually need replaced- even synthetic. But, of course you don't want to see those kinds of temps. I'd expect to see 100-110 degrees on a normal day, and hotter as the weather increases and travel distance is longer. I think 130 degrees is too hot.
You might have one bearing that's a bit tighter than the other, a brake that's rubbing a little bit, or as you said, more weight on one side of the trailer than the opposite side. As already said, good maint. should never be overlooked.
