I bought a 2012 Jayco white hawk 26rks last year and the dealer had put new tires on it saying they needed relacement.After doing some research I found that it was one of the original models and was known to have a problem.Jayco and dexter replaced the axles for the original owners under warranty if needed.Dexter offered me a very good price on replacements how ever freight and importing costs and dollar exchange were more then the axles.I went to Standens in Calgary and they made a whole set of axles,hubs,springs,hangers for me for less money.I now have 3" axles tubes instead of 2 3/8" thin wall.Most of the problem was because of the "wide stance"spread of the wheels,which is a pretty feeble sales ploy at best.Any kind of sharp movement,tight cornering, with this feature is extremely hard on hardware and tires.
