Recommendation need on springs

[mobilrvn]

We haven't had any luck finding replacements for our sprung springs so far. We will be in Nashville TN for a bit. Does anyone know a spring place or reliable dealer/repair facility in that area--haven't been there before, so any help will be appreciated.

look for a Six Robblees, great company here in Montana, not sure about your area.

Stop by an RV dealer and find out who they use. I did that in New Mexico and worked great, they took care of my problem.

Went to Cullum & Maxey in Nashville and they were worthless. Told me that we would have to leave the 5W for a week! Contacted Road Ready Repair, 615-390-3851, and they came immediately and took off a good spring for measurements and came back and replaced all the springs in about five hours and we didn't have to take the 5W anywhere. Price was about what we thought we'd pay and now have beefier springs--the 5W is now about an inch and a half taller; seems more solid, too. We'll see how it tows.

If you don't mind my asking, what are the symptoms of this spring problem?
Thanks.

We had bad tire wear on the inside of the left rear tire--didn't see it for a while and then it really went fast. Thought maybe we had a bent axle--been there before on our previous 5W. The place we took it to said to get new tires as all of the tires were showing signs of tread seperation (at about 16K) and that could be the problem. Got new tires and took it back for inspection and the fellow measured the springs as we were setting level. One spring was "longer" than the others. The tire wore opposite of this bad spring. Guess it happens so slowly--like kids growing--that we didn't notice that we we sitting just a bit lower on that corner. We had blocked up the bad spring side of the 5W at this stop with four plastic blocks to get it level. After the springs were replaced the 5W was only a half a block out (1/2"). Hope this is helpful.
