I have a double axel and when you look at the tires one looks angled different than the other at times. Is this because they are on leaf springs or is it a problem. The springs and axels all look good when I check underneath.

Measure between the wheels at closest point. Are they the same, or at least very close both sides?

I saw Axel in a movie once!

Google Axel and first hit is RV.net

However Weight Police is at the bottom of the forth page.

Things no one needs to know!

The search function probably has no idea what an Axel is.
Maybe try the word "axle". :S

because the default is 'exact phrase'. the more words you use the worse it gets. That, and possibly your spelling, although 'axel' is common on here.

"At times" indicates it is most likely due to backing the trailer at an angle. They will appears out of line, but no problem as they will straighten when you pull forward.
