I would be concerned about a bent axle. Thinking about it. If one side of the axle slid back causing that tire to turn out, and if the axle was straight, the tire on the other side would turn in an equal amount. Which you would expect to wear that other tire an equal amount on the outside edge.

Another thought is that when the axle shifted back, it also rotated slightly so that the natural bow of the axle rotated slightly forward. That could account for one tire turning out while the other remained straight.
