[VAC] Re: Replacing Shocks



Most truck tire centers can do the complete wheel balance. Anyone that says 
"it is not necessary" to balance the running gear on an Airstream trailer 
either has a bad sense of humor, or still lives in the days of the wheel 
barrel.  I wonder what they would says causes the shearing of rivets, bad 
tire wear, breaking of copper tubing, electrical connections coming loose, 
water leaks, frame fatigue, sheet metal fatigue, and LPG leaks. Or perhaps 
they would say that Airstream builds a junky product. To be ill informed is 
one thing, but to pass on advice on any subject, especially an Airstream, 
without having facts, is pure fantacy.   Andy
