I have read numerous posts, but non seemed to be my problem. We bought a used popup tent camper. It was a '95 1206 jayco. Eventually we discovered evidence of a wheel having been run while loose. Probably never totally came off, but hub was hammered onto face of rim ( on the spare tire).
Subsequently, new tires are worn out on the inside of each wheel, worse on the right side. The left side was the side that probably came loose, as it has different sized lugs. total miles on new tires was 7000 and needed to be replaced.
We attempted to have a mechanic add spacers to top of hub on both side.Approximately two washers in thickness with a slight improvement.
The Axle is straight. It is a dexter torsion bar style.
A wheel alignment guy looked at it, but was unsure what to do about it a year ago. Now looking for another one.
Has anyone else had a problem like this, and what was the eventual solution? I am ready to put a quarter inch spacer on the top and try that. (Have new 10 ply tires for another trip!)
Thanks,
