Hey Members!
I have a 2003 Winnebago Journey DL with the 330 Cat diesel and a Freightliner XC chassis. I have had it only a year and a half and have taken one long trip in it (1800 miles RT). It has 53,000 miles on it. I took it into Freightliner to diagnose unstable tracking while driving at highway speeds (65). On a crowned road, it has a "dog-tracking" issue with the rear tracking to the right. You have to constantly steer it to keep it going straight in your lane. Tires are good (new fronts) and just aligned. Freightliner says the rear bushing are worn and quoted 50 hours labor ($9750) and $3000 in parts. They said the rear axle has to be dropped to do the repair. The ER was able to re-start my heart after this bad news. Have any of you heard of this type of repair at this cost? I want it to be save but this is 1/3 of what I paid for the rig. Help please!
