Changing Axles
Been told that the reason one of the tires on my TT is wearing badly is because of a bent axle or spindle. So has anyone ever replaced the axles on a TT? If one axle needs to be replaced, then why...

Whoa! Stop! Did you have the suspension checked? Are the spring hangar plates and bushings worn?
This can do the same thing and is MUCH more common than a bent spindle.
I would have the suspension checked.
One easy test to see if your spindle is bent is to jack up the axle in question stand something up that has a straight edge against the tire and rotate the tire/wheel. A bent spindle will result in the outer diameter of the tire to scribe an elliptical course and hit the straight edge.
With the weight off the suspension a bad suspension will not affect this.
Be sure you arent spending a lot of money where a $100 fix will do it.
