Yes, those can go bad over time, either with age or with abuse. If you think the tires/rims are different, just swap them from one side to the other and haul the same load. If the same spot rubs, it's more than likely a failed/bent axle or you're overloaded. [links]
You might get 20 years out of a rig that goes 10 miles back and forth to the ramp once a year, but you could lose a torsion axle in a month or two if you tow 7,000 miles each way even once a year, and we do - that's why I like springs.
How does a torsion axle work?
Also, are torsion axles better than leaf springs? Clearance – Torsion axles are generally lower to the ground than leaf spring axles. With a lower center of gravity, torsion axles offer better cornering and improved handling. Smooth ride – Torsion axles have rubber cushions, producing a smoother ride than leaf spring axles.
Keeping this in consideration, do torsion axles go bad? [links]

I built a tilt deck bumper pull car hauling type trailer 14 years ago ( I was 16). I used a pair of heavy old 6000 pound mobile home axles with leaf springs. The trailer has always worked fantastic, it's been beyond grossly overloaded and pulls great empty or loaded. I've put 5 sets of tires on the trailer in it's life, I've used the hell out of it. My only complaint is it's not heavy enough to haul some of the machines I have now.
Recently I've towed two different bumper pull car type trailers, one almost identical to my trailer, but both these trailers have 8 lug torsion style axles and were likely in the 15-20 year old age range. Both these trailers were awful to tow, I actually got in a wreck with one of them because it was swaying so bad with sway controls and load distributing bars attached to a 2wd Cummins dodge pickup. The owner of the trailer insisted I use the load bars and stabilizers and I thought he was joking considering the load on the trailer and the experience I've had using my trailer, boy was I wrong. Even with the load distributed properly, sway controls and load bars I couldn't control it at 45 MPH. I can't find anything obviously wrong with either one of these trailers, everything looks on the level. There doesn't seem to be a whole lot to go wrong with a trailer.
How can you check torsion axles? Do they wear out? If so how do you check?
I have a 12k rated torsion axle trailer about 13 years old. Tows great unless I have the weight too far toward the back. I actually had the bull bar on the front reconfigured so that I could park vehicles closer to the front. more
One of my customers has been building boat specific trailers using those axels for the last 2 decades, zero faliuer due to the suspension, normally salt water eventually destroys the hubs + stub axles. here
Since making that change, it is easier to get the load forward and tongue weight correct and it tows like a dream with proper weight distribution. more
