How would trailers get a wheel alignment?
The shackles are fixed
The axle ubolt and springs have a hole and pin mount.
I can't see how that could be adjusted.

Its done by bending the axle back in alignment with the front coupler in a triangulated fashion.
Chains hydraulics and lazers get it done.
Ive had it done on 3 trailers.

Ive had many GN flatdeck trailers axles bent back to specs by a big rig trailer repair shops. They're set up to handle non adjustable trailer axles.

In all of my 40 years of pulling trailers I have never heard or the need of trailer wheel alignment.
Just goes to show ya never too old to learn something new.
Happy trails
