I can do the porta power and chain trick that i see on youtube, But would rather just take it to the shop and watch it being done.
When I was on the road I looked for a big rig trailer repair shop for axle work.
They have all the equipment that aligns from the pin/ball or pintle hitch receiver to the trailers front axle.
From there they can bend the axle back to alignment with the hitch....set toe angles...and check camber....and set the following axles (tandem or tri axle).
Drop by a real pro shop and let them show you how to properly align a trailers suspension.
After replacing a axle myself or a shop I always ran the trailer in service and watched for odd wear patterns in the tires tread. Pulling trailers I didn't always have time in my schedule or was close to a good trailer alignment shop.
If a odd tire wear pattern showed then was the time set up a appointment for a check or R&R.
I would run the trailer but watch the tires for irregular wear issues.
