Crawling underneath our 5er today (something I need to do more frequently) I noticed that the spring shackle bolts have zerk fittings on the outside ends. Are these "wet bolts" I've heard of? And how often should I apply a grease gun to them?
The axle tubes (Dexter 7k) have noticeable arcs in them, an eyeball estimate of 3/4 to 1" upward from a horizontal plane. I didn't see any obvious marks on the undersides to indicate they had sustained damage. Should they be perfectly straight, or is there a built-in caster that would account for the deflection? New tires won't reveal any wear patterns.
