You have a bent axle. If it's 1 inch out, I'd say you need to replace it. It is a risk with the cantilevered axle to get bent on hard bumps. The solution is to reinforce it. There are numerous threads on this forum for how different folks have dealt with the problem.

trying to ask a question about my axle and why it leans in at the top.  keeps kicking me as spam.   RP 195   2020.    is it junk or they all do that  and is it safe to pull  had several opinions.  had it looked at by a axle dealer and got different answers.  from don't pull it to no problem  just tire wear issue.  thanks, Dave
