Dexter/Alco

[Joseph Eason]

I have Alco axles and the brakes were replaced with Dexter could that be causing my tires [all four] to wear on the inside.

As long as the components that were replaced are ths same size and shape as the original, there should be no problem at all. The same mfgr. probably mahes the brake components for both companies.

On Edit - It would be worth checking into though.

We had the same problem on our 2004. Alko replaced the axle shafts and four tires. The axles had "lost their camber" (Alkos words). What is the last 6 numbers of your vin#? You could place a straight edge on your axles to see if they are arched up (good) or dropped down (bad). There is a two year warranty on the axles by Alko. You may want to call customer service to see if they may make you a deal on replacement. 574-294-6651 Chris or Pam.

I crawled under the Monty...and I STILL have no idea what size axles I have...LOL But they do have a nice bend in the middle, which from what I gather on here...is a good thing.

You can call Keystone (866) 425-4369 (Toll Free) and they can tell you the axle size and any other information that is on the build sheet for your RV. The only thing you have to have is the serial number of your RV.
