I have a champion boat with a single axle trailer. The other day I was leaving Choke and had a blowout. No big deal right. When I was changing the tire I noticed that my axle was cocked backwards. It was not straight up and down. Now I have never paid attention to it so I don't know if it was like that before the blowout or not. Does anybody have any experience with this. I honestly think it was like that before. What do yall think? Thanks

It has leaf springs that run under the axle. It is not loose or anything. After the blowout I drove 110 miles and no problems so that is why I think it has always been like that.

I have seen the U-bolts that bolt the axle to the leaf spring come loose causing the axle to shift a little. When I experienced this the axle shifted so far that one of the tires was rubbing the inside of the wheel well which caused a blow out.
