I hate to bring this up, but ... Both TM and Dexter Axle warn owners never to jack up the TM by putting the jack under the axle. Reason? The axle will bend, and may take a permanent set. This would cause wear on the outside of the tire at the bent end. I think this is the "camber" that wmtire mentioned.

Several years ago, as part of my switch to 15" tires, my local tire jockey started to jack up the TM by putting the floor jack under the axle. Fortunately I caught him. The jack must be under the frame.

Brulaz - anything?
