How big is the axle on a car hauler?
Bent one 3500lb trailer axle on my car hauler towing up a gnarly road to my uncle’s mountain property. (700 miles from home). Bent it so bad that the tire hit the side of the trailer and popped it. Called around no one had the right width axle in a 100 mile radius.
What happens if you bend an axle in the middle?
That way as the entire axle bends under load, it ends up more or less straight. If you were to put a single bend in the middle, you would have a very oddly shaped axle as the entire axle bent under load. I would think if you were to re-bend the axle, it would have to be done with a tube roller of sorts rather than a tube bender.

How big are the axles on a flatbed truck?
If it matters any, it’s two 3500 lb axles under my 18′ flatbed. I would think it’s more of a gradual bend – a smooth arc along the entire length of the axle.
