Sir: This is not uncommon as that is the curb wheel. It can be bent back in shape if the bushings are in decent shape. I have used a small hydraulic jack that would work on its side. Jack it up and remove both wheels so you can straight edge the hubs. block the bent bogie up straight and put the jack between the frame and bogie arm. It takes a short one or a shorty porta-power. It usually takes a couple of try's as it will spring back some so you have to go past where you wanna go. I usually smack it a few times with a hammer while under tension. Take your time and it should go well. I have heard rumors that you can use an old wheel bolted on backwards and use a big long bar thru the holes and bend it back.

Hi everybody!
I was originally going to introduce myself before getting in trouble but...
We bought couple weeks ago our first coach, its a 77 Palm Beach 26ft 37000ml, original interior, painted outside about 10yars ago in orinal colors and theme.
Our friend is now driving it from Los Angeles to Galveston TX to get shipped in Finland, and in first leg just before Phoenix AZ noticed that right side mid tire was wearing out fast.
After closer look and road side tape measuring it seems that right front bogie is bent in and it is 3/4" closer to frame than opposite side.
Do anybody happens to know where to find straight bogie arm nearby/reasonable distance from Phonix, or is it possible to bend back in original shape?
