Leaning f53

[bandit2026]

My Itasca no longer leans. Finally found a shop in Roanoke Va 30 mi from home. Valley Heavy Duty Truck Alignment. They worked with temporary blocks and let the coach settle to get it perfect before permanent fix was done. Then they aligned the rear end and checked the front. Looks and rides great best $255 I ever spent.

What was the permanent fix?

[John Hilley]

Very reasonable charge

They disconnected the sway bar and u-bolts then raised the chassis till the sway bar could be reconnected in a relaxed position. Then through trial and error put temporary spacers between spring and axel until they were satisfied after the weight was put back on the spring. Then put a permanent spacer with new u-bolts and realigned the diff and checked the front for alignment.

Thanks for the update! Mine sags about an inch on the passenger side rear end. If I ever decide to have it corrected, I'll know what the proper procedure should be.
