Its crazy how things wear , that 2008 had lot of mile on it in those 12 years . Up into Canada , down south etc etc . About a year ago I took one apart could not get grease into it, not a sign of wear on bronze bushing nor any on the shackle plates . Only other thing I had to do in that 12 years was replace the shear springs , thats when I also replaced the position of the wet bolt to take grease.
IMO my 12 year experience trumps you 4 years
Its either put together right ,and IMO everything was right ,and the wet bolts were greased properly the X-factor did its job, I checked tongue on everything ,especially the leaf spring bolts . etc etc. . And no I never worried about my suspension either, everything was done right, I know because I'm the one that did it. :thumbs:
I do understand the IS ,if someone has continually had problems ,but with four different fifth wheels ,and not single issue, other then shear springs ,and thats not an issue ,thats a wear item . Its a pretty tough sell for someone like me, thats not had problems ,and have taken care to not do so .
