Electric Tongue Jack Wobble
Well I made the mistake - twice now - of leaving the tongue jack extended and moving forward (it was on a block and simply slid of the block onto the truck both times).. That's what I get for being in a rush to set up late...
On the second incident, the jack would blow fuses and I assumed it was bent. I changed two and it worked again...
It still works but since then I've noticed a creaking sound and substatial wobbling when the jack is extended. I can't see where the play is, the bolts appear secure but is looks like the moving leg has more play than before, up inside the head perhaps?
Any ideas?
