Inside tire wear

Maybe this has been covered but I'm new to the forum and there are a lot of threads to navigate.

I have a tire issue I can't nail down. The left tire on the rear axle of my 2012 26TBUD has excessive wear on the inside and the wheel tilts in noticeably when driving, especially when making left hand turns. Stock tires/rims and bearings are good. When parked everything appears fine as far as I can tell. I'm concerned it may be a bent axle.

Thoughts, suggestions?

Sounds like the spindle or axle is bent.
Usually happens when a corner is cut too sharp and the tire scrapes a curb or obstruction. Maybe when pulling into a fueling spot. You don't notice it in the tow vehicle, but the trailer has enough weight to bend the axle.

You wouldn't know where a guy can get an axle with wheel hub assembly for these camper trailers?

Ha! I was thinking more along the lines of somewhere that doesn't have junk parts and outrageous prices.

Have you tried your axle manufacturer?

Huh? Etrailer carries Dexter axles and their prices are in line with or better than most online retailers. So if your looking for free axles, may as well keep shopping.

I don't know what brand axle you do not consider a "junk part" if that is what a Dexter axle is, Lippert maybe LOL. Good luck with that.
