Well, when you hook up to your jeep, you should not be able to reverse the trailer more than a foot, before the 4 wheels lock. Iver in Cavan

Firstly check if the brakes work when the handbrake is applied. You can then also remove the drum to check the condition of the shoes. Secondly when check that when you brake while driving that you don't feel a slap in the rear, it should brake smoothly.The methods already mentioned might not be that effective if the adjustment is off or the damper is gone.
