place to get axles checked/aligned near Sacramento?

[KampingKris]

Probably have something fishy with the front axle. Tires just don't seem to last very long. Yep, they aren't the best variety usually whatever Les Schwab has... Although now we've got two Goodyear Marathon which seem to be better, but on again is showing some wear along outside edge..
The axles were replaced a couple of years ago... and we have our frame beefed up at the axles which did slow down the issue - just didn't solve it.

SOOO... can't seem to find a shop in our area. Anyone have any suggestions?

I had Camping World in Rocklin install the correct track system and alignment. They did a good job.

sounds like you are having problems with the bushings being worn. Easy to fix, but if possible make sure to use 'wet bolts".

I wish someone would put out a directory of these types of shops. I spent the whole week calling around to find someone who would look at mine. RV dealers are a dime a dozes, but none work on axles or alignments.

The only shop I can find is a Tractor Trailer repair shop, but they seem to be puting me off for the high $$$ repairs.

If you don't mind driving to Stockton there is The Hitch House on Wilson Way. They do RV repair and also do the Correct Track II laser alignment. I've had them do work for me a number of times in the past and they are great people.

The Hitch House

Hope this helps.

I know it's a ways to drive. That said one of the best facilities in Ca is called All-wheel Alaignment in Redding. They have people from out of state travel for Motorhome, trailers you name it. Extremely fair and family ran business, they even have 50 amp service on site if you need to stay in rig! Ask for Rob! It's worth the drive!

I swear by these guys!

After hitting a curb and destroying a tire and rim I ruined a brand new tire in 600 miles to get home. I had the axle repaired and aligned at West Coast Frame and Collision in West Sacramento. They did a great job and were easy to work with.

There is an entire street of RV Parts and Repair facilities in Sacramento... I think the street is called El Camino. Before the bust 6 years ago, there were at least a dozen RV business on a 4 block section of that road. Even after the bust, there are still about half a dozen left.

Can't think of the exact name of the street, or any names of the RV repair facilities, but when I'm in that part of the country, I get there by taking business 80, and then go by sight recognition.
