Master tow dolly issues

I recently bought a used 2001 model 80TH Mastertow Dolly with hyd. brakes . With new tires I notice the fenders and tires not parallel so i put a square on the tire and found that the axles are /---\ to the ground so i pulled the axles and slides appart and found this. The spindles to the 3" tubing is .044 out in 2.5 inches and the 2.5 tubing inside the 3" slide was bent .04 over the full length in 3' The spindles are mounted to a piece of 3/8 thick x 5 " wide flat stock and the spindle is put in a hole and welded on the inboard side only and hangs out 1" from the square brake mounting plate ! wow I dont know the history of this dolly But this is the heavy duty Mod!! This was the worst side . Anybody else have this issue ? In Process of bolting the spindles on .

Without pics, if I am reading it right, it sounds like it was severely overloaded.
