Blows me away how axles can be out of alignment from factory but I've seen a few and had one myself.
Can't believe an axle jig isn't used as this would enable perfect alignment 100% of the time and prevent unsuspecting owners from issues such as sway and blowouts.
The frames are built at the Lippert (or other), factory and the axles are completely assembled at the axle company. All the RV factory does is plop the axle on the frame and stuff in a few bolts. If the hangers are off, nobody checks that, it is what it is. Yes, Lippert and others may use a jig to locate the hangers, but you don't want to see that any more than you want to see sausage being made.
