Bent axle

[badkat]

We never tried but I love our insurance carrier. We got new awnings from a micro burst. I was sitting under the awning with good weather then all of sudden it hit. They never questioned it but knew it had happened to others in the area. The axle thing we felt was on us. Too many claims and maybe they would not like us!

Since Weshphil had the same exact issue, I’m wondering if there was a defect. By the way, I checked with a truck alignment shop and they said fixing is not recommended. I think it requires applying heat to the axle which weakens the metal.

...you bend the axles cold...always....they can be straightened....find the correct alignment shop.....one of mine is out of alignment....I just rotate every 8-10000 miles and all is good....you may have had a bad tire...
