    houma/Thib shop to straighten and align trailer axle?

    Looking for a shop to straighten out a bent axle on a trailer. Also wondering if they can do it with the boat still on it.

    Don't know the situation, but it might pay you to out a new, heavier axle on it. If the axle is too light, it might just bend again. Had that problem once. Kept bending spindles.

    I'd imagine someone who does alignments could look at it.

    You can use the crosshairs on a rifle scope to see if it is straight and if the tire is at a 90 to the axle.

    Man axles are cheap. There is a company in as who will make them to the length you need and ship. I just bought two with all hardware a d hangers for 347 shipped. They are 3500#
