Trailing Arms

[Old Blue]

Well had new trailing arms installed on Monday 18th. old arms were not cracked or broken,,,,but better safe than sorry. We feel with just the new trailing arms replaced, the m/h handled better, it felt quite a bit more stable so I guess we are happy with the purchase. maybe someday the ride enhancement will be our next big purchase..just thought I would tell someone about this......

Bill,

Tell this dumb old country boy what "trailing arms" are.

I had both mine changed after they both busted. It is nice to have it behind you.

I had mine done back in May, both were cracked when inspected after removal. The shop that did the job initially inspected thr old ones incorrectly, glad I bit the bullet when I did. PS my ride is better after returning my ride height to the Monaco recommendations instead of the 9" Scott engineering recommended.

I changed ours and nevered looked back. Also changed to Koni FSD shocks whiched really really improved the ride.

I have been mentally debating the shock change and I am happy to hear that the Koni's worked out for you. Shocks and ride adjustment are the next items on my to do list after we return from our next trip. I suppose the Norcold recall had best be included in that also. My tires have about 40K on them and seem to be okay, but how many miles can I hope for on this chassis?
