I really appreciate the replies. I will do some measuring to make an accurate assessment of whats going on. I can't remember the difference in the numbers but a friend and I measured the distance from the outside edge of the outer tires. We took a measurement and then took another measurement 180 degrees from that mark. I think it was about a 3/4 of an inch difference, but I need to check again. This is where I came up with the bent axle idea, but like caringb said, the damaged spindle theory makes sense. The tires are the same size and the tire wear was only on one half of the tire.

I am dumb for not thinking about popping the cover and talking a look inside to see what going on.

Thanks for the support, I'll let you know my findings

Brad
