Maybe just a little history concerning the original axles and what you replaced them with.....thanks.

as a previous cedar creek owner, there was an issue with the axles not being arched correctly. this started causing unusual tire wear and a multitude of problems.after several trips. there was a recall a couple of years ago. some units went to a heavier axle also.

AH yes what were the originals replaced with? The company says they replaced them with "factory" ones" .They originals were damaged by a bad road in Colorado. Insurance paid the bill. and for the last couple years all was good. Now just the back one is wacky.. This is one a 2013 passport , axles I thought were going to be 5000, but the factory says no , the 3500 are the ones. ?? NO guarantee after 2 years. that is a given.. gerrrrr.

There was a similar post just a short time ago under "uneven tire wear" and I recommended the same thing. Take it to a large truck alignment shop and have them take a look. Certainly a small charge to have someone who actually does this kind of thing for a living give you their opinion. Maybe a cheap fix and just a little axle bending in order.

I just replaced both axles, at a cost of 500. and I did all the work w/lovely wife.. Not too bad of a job as I am a " mechanically " minded person. I found out a bend back only extends the replacement time...
