Old leaf spring equalizers have me paranoid
Hi Guys
Today I was making a to do list to get the nomad ready for spring.I was inspecting the tires when I realized that I have never inspected the leaf springs.Well they looked ok but they are the 30 year old factory shackles bolts and equalizers.Now I have worked myself up into a paranoia that they are going to fail to the point that I am afraid to move the camper and all work has halted till I figure out what to.I know I should replace them but I am afraid since they are factory they will be rusted solid and not come off.
If this really a super hard job?
