Is this normal? When I'm driving straight and I stop without turning and get out and look that are aligned perfectly. I'm wondering if the axel twists and bends when turning and if this is ok or not. Hope this makes sense. 
edit: In other words. the wheels camber in different directions depending on what direction i'm turning while backing up. I'm just wondering if the camber should remain 0 while backing up and turning at the same time with the travel trailer. |
Mine do the same thing. I think it has alot to do with the forces that are at play when turning sharp and the uneveness of the ground.
Are you experiencing any uneven tire wear? That is a sign that you might have an alignment issue.
Hook up and go find a nice level parking lot. Check the alignment there. If they are still tweaked then you might have a problem.
