Been reading all the forums that are saying, Take the RV to an alignment shop and they get can bend the axles if they have to and make everything aligned. Well I can't find one. Anyone from this area have this done?


Been to the dealer because I had a left rear scuffing the inside of the tire. They concluded both my axles were bent. It is two year old rig. Never called me back on extended warrantee claim.

Talked to Dexter and they sent me two new axles/springs/brakes. I installed (easy) and I still want to get it checked. I hate putting on a new tire every 1,000 miles and now I am gun shy , Even with two new axles.

I can do the porta power and chain trick that i see on youtube, But would rather just take it to the shop and watch it being done.

two year old 5th wheel. V-Clips installed, X factor Installed. Morryde heavy duty wet bolt and bushing kit. And i am still uneasy and wondering if i have a problem. My spring mounts are measured perfectly but difficult to get a perfect measurement after the axles are mounted. I just want to take it to the shop and be done with this knowing I am straight and true. Can't find a Shop. I have a trip planned and have some time before to get this finished.

Anyone have this done around the buffalo area?

How about Scruggs Automotive? Googled them and they say they Elma. Also more shps came up on Google in the Buffalo area that I believe that Elma is a suburb.

Can't help except that there have been posts concerning axles that aren't heavy enongh for the RV due to conditions or weight. Perhaps weight the RV fully loaded, water everything and find the axle ID tags and see what can be determined. A few posters have upgraded the axles. Also check rims and tires.

Sounds like you have a trailer issue, not a RV issue. Make that adjustment between your ears, then find a shop to fix it.

Have some faith in your abilities and the fact that the new axles arenโ€™t bent and the fact that you have all that extra stuff on them and go tow it wherever youโ€™re headed. And donโ€™t worrry about it.
You know how to install that stuff โ€œeasyโ€ so youโ€™re certainly capable of running a quick alignment check if you donโ€™t trust your eyeballs. What you DONT want is some hack RV tech even touching it.
Also if you havenโ€™t, get that thing on the road for a good shakedown run and then re-torque all the important nuts and bolts. Maybe do that twice. Good practice. Especially the U bolts. Obviously you donโ€™t re torque the spring bushing bolts.
