Re: [VACList] Axles/shock replacement
Hi Randy,
I thought about this overnight and agree that it might be a 30 year fix, but
if it compares with an automobile, it might be every 5 years or so.
Since I'm having new axles fabricated, making a change in the orientation of
the shock bracket pin should make future shock changes little more than
taking the wheel off.
I sent a sketch of to the axle manufacturer today to see if it is possible
to near duplicate the original. If not, I will have to get a local welder
to install the bracket, possibly to my liking.
Yep, I have the '74 Argosy that also needs new axles - and as you say, four
more times to get it right! :) Hopefully my experience with an axle
manufacturer other than Henchen will prove successful.
Thanks for your thoughts and experiences.
Regards, Joy
