Question another trailer axle question

I have a 2001 Rocket tripple axle aluminum trailer for my 29 Outlaw. It has stainless disc brakes on the 2 front torsion axles and pulls and stops great. Bought the boat in the spring and pulled it around all summer. I started noticing the inside of the tires were wearing real bad on the front 2 axles. I ended up blowing a couple of tires and blew 1 spindle over the summer. It appears that the spindles are bent on the 2 front axles. They are not replaceable. It looks like they are welded right to the axle.
My question is...Can you straighten an axle or should they be replaced? And if you remove them or replace them, is there a good way to realign the new/repaired axles? Any advice welcome. Thanks.

You can get the entire new axle (including spindles) at a fair price. Check out...

They were good to deal with too when I was rebuilding my trailer this past summer.

Thanks Indy.
Any special way of lining them up. I was going to try and mark the old ones, but I would like to be able to check them. Can you measure back from the tongue to try and true them up?

Yikes Can't help you with that one, your trailer would probably be making perpetual left turns if I did LOL!! Sydwayz has a lot of trailer knowledge, check with him.

You might want to post the question in the Trucks & Trailer forum of OSO too.
