I have (2) 16' tandem axle trailers; one is nearly 30 years old and the other is about 3 years. Haven't paid attention to the older one as that trailer has always been so perfectly reliable. The newer trailer I had problems with since new, which caused me to watch it more closely both in the side mirrors and when sitting and parked in the yard. It seems like the only time the tires on each axle are both vertical is when it is sitting still and no load. If there is a load, then varying ground contours will effect how the tires look one to the other.
Again, from what you've said, I don't know if what you're seeing is normal or not. It would be of great help if you could post a photo showing what you're seeing.
One thing to keep in mind is, while these tandem axle trailers have equalizers, that doesn't mean each axle is taking an equal share of the load at all times. There are many times when one wheel will take far more of the load on that side of the trailer than the other wheel, such as when driving over a pothole or a bump (for example).
