I looked all over in the Kansas City area for someone the bend the axles back in line after finding both tires on the drivers side wearing on the inside. I was told there was no one in the area that did that anymore. The only option was to replace the axles. That is what I did and it was a very easy change and only around $170 an axle (#6500, 3" axles). If I'd been able to find someone to bend the axles I'm sure it would have cost the same. I even had one of the several places I talked to say that if he could straighten them it wouldn't be cost effective due to the cheapness of new axles. When we bought our 5th wheel used it had new tires on it. After the first 5,000 miles I understood they had probably hit something and bent both axles to the outside and the new tires were to cover up that problem.
