Hi
I have had 2 new trailers in recent years a 2006 and then upgraded in 2010. Both came with bent axles. the Symptom was excessive wear on the inside of one or four tires.
The 06 had torsion axles thus the repair was to replace an complete axle. A $700 fix out my pocket,
The 2010 has twin straight axles with leaf springs. That was an alignment job at a Truck and Trailer repair shop in the Twin Cities. It was a $200=300 fix which was covered by the dealer as a warranty issue. That surprised me as warrantys usually don't cover axles. I got lucky with a good dealer.
I had a friend who bought a new trailer in 06 also and it had a bent axle and needed alignment. Seems to be a common problem.
