The alignment of Dexter Torsion Axles is dictated by location of the mounts that fix them to the trailer frame. There is nothing to 'adjust' or 'align' once the assembly is installed (the 'slop' in the axle-to-mount bolt holes is essentially 'nil', they are not 'slotted' to allow (mis)adjustment). Same goes for the bolt-in 'lift-kit spacers' if you have that option.
Obviously, it's
possible for the axle mounts to be incorrectly installed to the frame, and it's
possible for the alignment to be affected by damage or defect to the frame, mounts, or axle itself.
Alignment of the assembly can be 'checked' by making very careful measurements from the
unloaded (trailer supported with wheels-off) axle-stub end centerpoints to the centerpoint of the hitch-ball - the length of those two 'sides of a triangle' for any given axle should be identical; if not, something is amiss.
