Can Straight and Cambered Axle be Used on Tandem Axle Trailer
Published 08/02/2023
Question:
I have a tandem axle utility trailer that has one bent axle. The axles under it are straight / non cambered. Is there any reason I shouldn’t replace the one bent axle with a cambered axle while leaving the other straight axle under it? I would prefer to replace it with a straight axle but they are harder to find.

Expert Reply:
I would recommend sticking to matching axle styles as much as possible. Having a totally straight axle with a cambered one would most likely give you tire wear/alignment issues. The straight axle is not very common at all so best solution for you would probably be to get two new cambered axles.
