I would have never guessed that a tubular axle could be bent but I had my trailer axles cambered a few weeks ago. Very reputable, small independent shop in my area. Said they do it pretty regularly on new trailers. Axles built to be straight but need a little camber to off set loaded flex.

Good to hear. I have no direct experience with that practice, so in all honesty, I really can't say.
spsauerland Thanks this. -
You could try researching "axle truss". I'm with Swaan though, proper spec axle shouldn't need it. Unless it was a poor design from the start.

Soooo……five years later, has anyone welded angle iron to their axles with any success yet? I’ve owned this trailer for 12 years and it’s been wearing tires funny since new ( I’m the only person who has ever pulled it) and alignment is near perfect.
