I hope I'm not hijacking this thread and I don't want to get into a debate on whether or not to replace the trailing arms. That poor horse has been beaten as much or more than diesel versus gas. After reading the volumes on replacement I am curious to know if anyone has seen any numbers on how many failed, how many were replaced by Monaco under the original recall and how many of the replacement arms failed or were found cracked. I talked with a local shop (Charlotte, NC) about replacing mine a couple of weeks ago. These folks were certified to do warranty work by Monaco prior to the reorganization. I'm going for a visit next week but my understanding from the phone conversation they had not seen any failures and only a few that were "bent". What they said versus what I've read means I'll check these folks out further before letting them do any work on my motorhome. Again, I'm not challenging the fact they need to be replaced. It's just made me curious about the numbers if they're any available.
