Wear did show up after bikes began riding on the back. Sway was the big reason I stopped carrying them back there, amongst other structural concerns discussed in my previous thread.
Front axle seems to have less bow to it.
Wouldn't an upward bend cause outer edge wear vs inner? If so, I am inclined to think the bikes caused it....of course, toe-out may be in play too?
Axles leave factory with an upward bow.........so that when trailer is properly loaded the tires sit level.
Rear axle bow more/different than front axle......rear axle has been bent.
It would be better to change out both axles and springs to 4400# vs attempts to correct rear axle.
