2005 Journey slideout problem

[asheville]

Slideout is not level when extended because the white spacer "bushing thing" on the bottom of the rear arm has broken come out. Front arm has both spacers, only the rear bottom one has come out. Slode still works OK, but for how long? Is this something I can fix myself? Does it need to be fixed asap? Thanks Fred

I don´t know how long you can use it like that, maybe someone else will chime in.

Mine popped out on my trip to Alaska, what a surprize, and I did not notice anything wrong till I washed the rig before starting back and found the white spacer on the top of the slideout. I dont have a clue when it fell off but I used the slideout on the return trip without problems.



Good luck and hopefully someone can be more help.

That is where I found mine, and don't have any idea how long it road there? Did you get yours fixed? thanks

Yes I did get it fixed, luckily it was on warranty. The service person told me extended use without the shimmy would have caused eventual problems. I think he mentioned misalignment.

I would suggest getting it fixed as soon as possible. Meanwhile if you have to use the slide make sure you're as level as possible.

Good luck
