[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 80334, member: 55"] It is the axles natural camber. When you apply max load to the axle, it will level out. If they made the axle straight, it would have a negative bend to it when maximum load is applied, due to the inherent flexibility of the steel. Some smaller axles (2000 gross and below) are made without camber, as are some real high dollar ones, but for the most part, midrange trailer axles have a manufactured camber, to account for loading.
