cougar axles

Hi everyone, I am in need of a bit of help and information. I have a 2007 cougar. Now I haven't put new tires on the trailer since new, and that is something that will be done. Now my brother was here the other day, and said to me your tires are wearing and your both your axles are bent. (They curve up in the middle a bit) Now he's never owned a trailer before so I am not sure. My neighbour said that they are suppose have a little bit of a bow. I will post some pictures later. If you can help me out that would be great!

Thanks.
  • Install new tires and find a heavy duty truck trailer alignment shop and have them aligned. From what i see you might have an alignment issue, but cheap ST tires are notorious for displaying abnormal wear patters.
  • The axles normally have a curve to them. But it's also possible for them to be out of alignment, which will cause uneven and rapid tire wear.
