- xaugievikeExplorerEnjoying our early spr-ummer. Got some "new rig" stuff done.
Ebonded vents and installed maxxairs:
Kinda surprised the Cougar didn't come with a winterizing kit installed, but alas - put my own in....and hope not to use it for another 7 months!

Your rig is so new why do you supose the spring hangers went bad so fast?
No idea. It was only on rear axle on street (driver) side. I got everything replaced and will keep an eye on it. If it happens again I will have to start trying to find out why.
Did it have plastic bushings in the spring eyes, if so they are JUNK.
They break apart and you now have metal to metal contact. - IdahoanExplorer

- IdahoanExplorerReplaced spring hanger brackets on rear axle that were badly worn. My shackle bolt was also worn but nobody in local area caries a 9/16 wet bolt with 9/16 threads, they all drop to 7/16 threads. So I ordered one, should be here by this weekend so I can replace it.
