Dexter Axle 2021 17b moved forward

As stated in the title, 2021 17b no lift, standard tires, level, not overloaded, correct hitch height. My axle moved forward on the passengers side and rubbed the fiberglass well. It was always close less than 1/2 inch from front of the wheel well, no bumps, mishaps nada, bought new 1 yr. ago. Returning from a trip I went in to use the facility during a fuel up and smelt burnt rubber. The entire width of the tire is rubbing against the forward bottom quarter of the wheel well. No tire damage, a little polished on the center, heat wise not much different than the other side but it did rub. Figure the tire is shot, but!!! Dropped some air from tire that left enough gap to limp home, too tired now but will be underneath tomorrow. Anyone ever hear of anything like this? Drivers side still has about 1/2 inch clearance
