Would be interested in hearing opinions about rebuilding Tow Bars.
I see on You Tube that replacement bushings and washers are available as a Kit from various MFG.
I inherited a Roadmaster, BLACKHAWK 2 tow bar with a recent Jeep Purchase. I do notice that when placing the unit into Stow position on the back of the RV the Arms are pretty free wheeling and move almost effortlessly.
Just curious to the general opinions from fellow peanut gallery members around here to what, if anything, Ya'LL do when it comes to Maintaining the bar assembly?
Option 1: Run it hard until it craters, is the oilfield approach. Give things a hard eyeball when hooking it up.
Option 2: Apply Rebuild Kit, bushings, bolts.
Option 3: Never even thought about doing anything. The Dumb and happy approach. (Only Joking)
Opinions?
