Trailer axles are bent to track behind your vehicle, I have never owned a straight one. Some spindles can be replaced but most often are welded in place. The torsion axles do give me more problems than a sprung one, mounts rot and bend or break, rubber falls apart.
I'm not a fan of those that are bolted through the frame as I have seen frames crack at the bolts or rub thin and fail. You used it forever then cut one side off the tire first check the hub then the spindle.
