Not sure of that price seems low.

Just had trailer repaired and it was a lot more than that.

For a 3500 with no brakes that's the price, you could find it cheaper. But a axles with brakes it's much more.

I got a friend who's pretty talented and is certified so we'll see what he says, I believe all of yous on here, I just can't take it to a trailer shop cause there's not many where I'm at, like I spoke to a fella at fleet in reddeer he said they can bend it back but the first pot hole I hit itll be back the way it is

I hope it works out.

I burnt off 4 tires in 4 months on our enclosed trailer.

Had it taken in and axle tube bent. Front one.

trailer 5 years old. replaced tube hubs bearings brakes and electric brake battery. Also replaced tires.

Not cheap but I am happy with cost and repair.

So guys what we found was the axles are not lined up they're both angled towards the ditch, we measured from the plumb line off the king pin on the trailer, I'm out 1/2, so how many of you think that moving the axle pin in the middle of the ubolt plate will actually make a difference, because there's adjustment room on the ubolt plate, should the axles be equal measurement from spindle to spindle, on both sides, as well as the centering pin on the leaf spring pack,, will making all the same pins on the hole , correct my problem

because, my bearings are seated out, the only thing he found was that they weren't straight they're both angled towards the ditch which is why I would always have it correct myself, taking this trailer to a trailer shop, when they make everything equal measuring all the same that should fix my issue right
