I recently bought a used trailer. After getting it all set up for my boat and going through the bearings and everything I noticed that the axle is bent! Now what do I do? Is this going to cause my tire to wear funny, or possibly even heat up and blow? Would it weaken it to straighten it? It is bent back, just inside the spring mount. If I eyeball the bent side with a square across to the other side it lines up about an inch and a half in on the straight wheel. Any advice would be appreciated.
