Trailer axle bending.. Ideas
I had to replace my axle due to the axle was bent and tires wearing. I notice that the axle had impacted the chassis frame rail where it hit. I suppose from bottoming on the frame either due to a bump...

Sounds like the basic trailer failure...manufacturers putting on minimal suspension equipment. Mine came with 3500 # axles with matching 1750 x 2 springs per axle. After my tires were rubbing on the bottom of the trailer and bending an axle (not overweight either.) They replaced with 4400# axles with 2200# x 2 springs. Now springs have a nice arch to them and tows like it should have been right from the start.
Get next size axles with matching springs and you will not bottom anything out again.
X2, this is the permanent fix.
