The reason axles have an upward arc to them is so that when a load is placed on them they straighten out and your tires run evenly. When the inside of the tread on your tires wears on the inside that is a good indication that you are overloading the axle which is causing it to bend down too much.Click to see full answer. Furthermore, are trailer axles supposed to be bent?Trailer axles typically have the bow in them to help compensate for the vertical load they bear and still have proper wheel camber. Most trailer axles are designed with a “bend” in the tube that will deflect when the load (weight of the trailer) is applied.Likewise, what causes an axle to bend? This can occur during an auto accident, running over a curb, or even hitting a particularly deep pothole at higher speeds. The result is a bent axle. A badly bent axle will quickly cause damage to CV joints, and it’s possible to damage your wheel hubs, bearings and other components. Moreover, how do I know if my trailer axle is bent? Assuming your tires are in good shape without any bulges the easiest way to determine if you have a bent spindle is to take a straight edge that is longer than the tire and lay it across the tire parallel with your trailer frame and then measure the distance from the frame to the straight edge in front and back of theWhat causes a trailer tire to wear on the inside?Even a small difference can cause wear. Tire wear on the inside generally indicates an overloaded trailer. When a load is placed on it, the bow helps support some of the weight, the axle straightens some and the tires will wear evenly. Make sure that your tires have ST in front of the tire size.
