Hello all....
So there I am, under my camper yesterday working some insignificant problem, and I just happen to look over to my right tire and this is what I see.
YIKES!
For comparison, here's the other side.
The shackle broke off the frame, pulling the piece of frame with it and then flipped upside down so the frame rail is sitting directly on the bolt at the end of the spring! Don't know when this happened but I do remember a noise when we went over a bump about an hour from home last weekend. Don't even want to think of what could have happened if I hadn't caught this!
Incidentally, we are leaving for a 7 week trip around the country in 2 weeks!
Sunnybrook has volunteered to air freight to me a new shackel/collar kit and pay for its welding in place. I'll post with pictures when it's complete. Don't worry Joel, we're still planning on being at Glacier on the appointed day!
