I big rig trailer repair shop can bend the axle back to specs and have you on the road in short order.
Rolling over a curb at 5mph ?
That quite a impact especially if the trailer was going around a corner and with the tires side scrubbing "into" the curb.
One of the two big rig trailer repair shops I've used said they see lots of lead axle/curb side bent wheels and axles....cut tires or just outside rubber cuts on rv trailers.
A bent wheel won't bend a std leaf spring suspension axle. Jack the wheel up enough to roll it by hand. If it wobbles its bent and needs replaced....and have that tire checked internally.
