Is Curve of Trailer Axle Through Entire Axle Tube
Updated 09/26/2025 | Published 04/26/2025
Question:
Regarding the camber/pre-bend in the middle of the axle tube: How many inches length of the tube is affected by the pre-bend? In other words, the axle ribe is straight but for X inches in the center. Thanks!

Hey Trailer Dude! The curve in a trailer axle like the part # 8327820-EB is basically all the way through the axle tube. There isn't just a curve in the middle and the sides are totally flat.
