My axle was bent pretty bad. I found a place that would do what is in the you tube vid but it was $500. I purchased a new 3500lb axle for $170. I had to give them the mounting plate specs of the old axle. I replace the axle myself on my drive way in just under 2 hrs. I've had perfect tire wear on the new tires since.
Mike Thompson RV in Fountain Valley CA wanted $2400. Rip Off Artists! They even wanted to weld new hangers on the front which weren't even bent. They also insisted to save labor cost they would have to swap the axle drum to drum including all the break hardware. Save labor??? its four bolts and a king pin nut? The TT was only a year old. Grrrrr! Ok sorry I'll get off my soap box now. :)
