I expect there to be some flexing with the frame and suspension. If there weren’t any flexing at all I believe it would be a disaster. These units have to give a little. I have to make a really sharp turn to get in our driveway. I’ve seen many different times where the wheels were under so much stress that they actually pointed out during a turn while backing. This is on concrete and some gravel. After I started reading these threads on the suspension and problems with the frames I expected to find all kinds of problems. I looked it over really good and had someone else look it over too. I’ve never had any problems with the suspension or anything major with the frame. Perhaps I’m just one of the lucky ones. Normally we only hear about the bad things on here. In reality I imagine there are many units that never have any trouble.

Are there certain model years where these units were more prone to trouble?
