Repaired Spring Hanger Brackets: Now What?
First Post On RV.Net.
I recently returned from a round trip to Alaska. Driving 11,444 miles on some of the worst roads in Canada and Alaska. Due to road heaves (from freezing & thawing constantly) creates a real road hazard. I had both rear axle spring hangers break, then replaced and welded. The bummer of it was, I had to have it done a second time. The second time I had reinforcements installed. So 1 1/2" tubing was welded from hanger to hanger on both axles on my 2017 Reflection 26RL 5th wheel.
Now my question: Should I have an inspection on the entire frame, suspension & axle to see if there is other damage?
