I'm thinking that it's just sagged over the years till it has negative
camber. That seems to be the most logical explanation since I have
the same wear problem on both sides. A bent axle would not likely be
bent symetrically. Nor does it seem reasonable that the toe would
change on both sides.


It is not going to break. The yield point is a substantial percentage
of the stress at which it would break. It it bends sitting, it would
break the first time you hit a bump.

Question is will my parking it with a floor jack under the center bent
it back over time.


No. See above.

Also seems that it would be better to store over the winter with jack stands.


Easier on tires. THe steel doesn't care.
