HappiJac #5
Well, HappiJac strikes again! Raised the camper today so I could put it on the truck, the left front jack made a loud squelching sound and took off some big chunks of the powder coat on the inner tub...

Don't see how that can happen. There are 4 nylon pads that keep that from happening.
Are they missing? If so you should contact HJ and tell them about it.
My HJ's are 15 years old now. some rust here and there. Have sanded and painted the outer tube in some spots. Inners show wear where the nylon pads are but... NOTHING like what your picture shows...
When you say you did maintenance... did you fully disassemble them and lube the worm shaft and Nut/ball?

When I saw black curls rolling off the leg I thought it was the nylon but turned out to be the powdercoat. Maybe when there's too much pressure the nylon will still act like a paint scraper?
Good thought but I do not see that... Where is the normal scrape marks of the nylon pads?
Every Hj I have see, not just mine, has the rub/wear marks of the nylon pads... Just weird..
