Re: Alignment 1989 34XB info UPDATE 2/25/2020

To KYAVION, Hope to finish drilling last 3 @ 5/8" holes today. The other day drilling hole #3 the drill bit caught and bent. My wrist also bent. OUCH! I had to order new drill bit from Amazon and it arrived the other day. In response to your question about where I'm taking for professional to c...

Re: Alignment 1989 34XB info needed

Well I am out of the woods as far as health is concerned. Back to axle replacement. Here is update as of 2/7/20. I have removed all three old axle assemblies. Each was held to mount with two 5/8" bolt/nuts. Some issue with these being on for decades and rusted. Needed to use a nut buster on 2 o...

Re: Alignment 1989 34XB info needed

Like Stephen Boyd said after the chariot race in Ben Hur, "It goes on". Last Summer I was told my axles were in and I could pick them up. When I got to Redneck Trailer Supply I found that the mounting brackets on the new axles were mounted 180 degrees wrong. I ended up reordering the three...

Re: Alignment 1989 34XB info needed

After putting off ordering 3 new axles I finally have made the following progress. Last week I visited Redneck Trailer Supply. I jacked up the trailer and removed the front axle assembly and took it to have it measured by Redneck and place the order. The bad news was the salesman I spoke with a year...

Re: Alignment 1989 34XB info needed

Apologize for delay in updating my progress on axle misalignment fix. Since my last entry I realized that I need to replace two of my three axles. (I need to replace the front and rear as the middle one seems to be in tolerable limits.) I contacted Dexter and after going to voice mail three times I ...

Whatisit?

On my trip last month across the USA via Interstate 10, I stopped in Kerrville, Texas. They have an incredible city park campground that I highly recommend to all RVers. BTW visit Fredricksburg, Texas while there and also drive to Bandera and eat at O.S.T. Restaurant too. I digress. When I got back ...

Re: Alignment 1989 34XB info needed

I finally have some progress. Instead of making calls I set out to visit in person some local places that others recommended but were a bust over the phone. My first stop was at Pruitt's Alignment that is less than 2 miles from where I live. I spoke with the owner. He confirmed that they used to dea...

Re: Alignment 1989 34XB info needed

Thanks for the feedback. While on the way home earlier this month I stopped in Kerrville, Texas. I spoke with David at LeMilleur's there (830) 895-2888. He was knowledgeable and I wish I had been able to get the work done there as he was able and willing but booked up and I had a schedule to keep. H...

Alignment 1989 34XB info needed

I purchased my XB last Fall am the 3rd owner. I recently towed from SoCal to The Florida Keys. Before I left I installed 6 new tires and a TPMS system. I had all the tires inflated properly and since I towed with no water in any of the tanks I doubt I was overloaded. To my horror, on my return home ...
