Default Axle straightening
How many guys out there with single axle trailer and fish every weekend or multiple times a year need to have the trailer axles straightened from hitting pot holes to rough highway travels/ rough bridges, etc.

just curious as I just had mine done as my new tires were wearing crappy and the axle was bent a little throwing off the caster/camber.

I have not dropped the trailer off the end of ramps either if that is what you're thinking....

I bought a new 3500# axle for $140.00, and a couple hours of my own labor. What did they charge you to straighten yours?

In Montana that happens to almost everybody who fishes walleyes.
Pretty much routine maintenance.
Been there, done that, myself.

So what kind of shop can do the axle work? I don't know of any "trailer" places around.
