No offense intended to those who say you can't or shouldn't, but if you have tracking problems or tirewear issues, etc., then it most definately needs to be done. It's not the easy proposition that it is on vehicles, as it normally involves cutting, welding, bending, etc. My problem, and most with tire wear issues, was spring hanger/mount locations. The axles need to be parallel to each other and perpendicular to the direction of travel in order for good tire wear and tracking, and the tolerances are likely tighter than you might imagine. Think in terms of 1/8" or less. For example, the centerline diagonal measurements on my trailer were supposed to be within 1/2" of each other, and weren't. I think you'll find this kind of inaccuracy in Mfg.ing is pretty common. Just that most folks don't travel enough to see it show up as serious tire wear. If you're in doubt, find a reliable shop and get it checked. Mine cost $400 to get right, but life is good now. Shame they couldn't get it right at the factory.
