Bent axle

[LloydHCole]

I have a 1976, 31 ft Sovereign Land Yacht. I clipped a gas pump pole and bent the front axle. The bad axle will now eat a new tire every 350 miles.

Does anyone know if the axle can be straightened or if I would have to replace it?

Thanks

I have had my straightened before but not sure if it made any difference. It's probably better to just replace the axles.

Check the axle for downward angle. Thread with pictures are on the forum.

Good time to replace both (new brakes 12", new bearings, seals, races, shocks and more).
