Axle alignment issue - need help
Need help from axle alignmen expert... We are on the road on long winter trip, currently in SO cal and have extreme tire wear on outside of right front tire. Have a 2007 Nash 22M with one slide. Factory axles are 5200 lb, told large size due to weight of slide.
Had extreme tire wear last years trip, had new shackles installed, had things checked, bought new tires. Have bad tire wear now on one tire only, outside of front right tire, and some on outside of rear left Told by manufacturer to have alignment checked and check for bent axle. Took it to a seemingly good rv shop in South Orange County. Alignment checked, told ok, within 1/4" on all. Shop says i need to buy new axles at cost of $1,500. Told axles are preflexed, bow up, supposed to flatten out when loaded, but trailer not heavy enough for the factory axles to flatten out so tire does not ride flat, toed in. Fix is to install a straight axle.
Talked to northwoods, they don't agree, but no help. No one seems to explain why outside wear on front right but not front left, and why left rear but not right rear.
Can post or send pics, any ideas.
