The front axle has outside rib wear on both tires that is almost to the wear bars,
This wear pattern tells me that the rear axle is not perpendicular to the frame and the front axle may be bent as to camber on both wheels. .
The dealer told me he measured it and found all within spec. and that three axle trailers have tire wear issues that are considered normal.
I was in the medium and heavy truck business for 41 yrs and saw a lot of tire wear issues, This is not normal
Anyone have similar problems? Any suggestions will be appreciated

It would be nice to know what the OEM specs are and what the service guys found.
Logicly the tire wear you discribe does't indicate axles that are aligned within specs.
There have been axle recalls in the past, mainly due to problem welds. I would contact the axle manufacturer, they should be able to tell you if there is a potential problem with your alignment.
