I do see a wow in the axle but have also been told that some bend is normal. True?? I don't remember doing anything that would have bent an axle. Replace the axle?
Am I good to replace the tears with new ones or do the fronts need to match?
Thanks for the time.
Axles today come OEM with a upward camber bow unlike our older trailer axles that were straight
A 4 year old trailer with a bent axle isn't a big deal.
Drop by a local big rig truck/trailer repair shop and have them check both axles out and give you professional advise. If the axle is bent their set up to bend the axle back into alignment with the axle on the trailer....or if you have the money they can replace the axle(s).
Axles on rv and commercial trailers get bent. I've bent a 10k axle on a flatdeck trailer on a worksite. A area big rig trailer repair shop near the worksite, hydraulically bent the axle back to specs.
