One of my older GN flatdeck trailers tandem axle has 5/8" difference between the tires side to side. The trailer has over 200k miles. The tires have always worn even across the tread and the trailer pulls good.
I had it checked at the local big rig trailer shop. They said the front axle is within specs but the rear axle has been shop bent at the stubs to follow or track the front axle.
I do not like it for my TTs.
My reasoning is simple.... The root cause still exists. If the custom bent axle should ever need replacing.(this can happen due to many things) it too will need to be custom bent. If instead the hangers are installed properly, then a replacement axle can just be bolted in place, and it will be good as new.
