excessive undercarriage noise in 2014 Jayco White Hawk 23MBH
We were wondering if anyone has experienced an excessive amount of undercarriage noise in a new trailer. Our Jayco, purchased two weeks ago, makes loud metal-on-metal cracking noises when backing up. The dealership initially told us it was the sway bars, but it continued when positioning the trailer without the sway bars, and it was clear that the noise was coming from the axle assembly.
We have had two previous trailers (Jayco) with only mild clicking noises from the brakes, etc. This new one is really, really loud. It's hard to imagine backing into a campground site at night with this thing banging and cracking.
The dealer has now lubricated the area, which helps a bit, and has told us that the noise is caused by the wide stance of the axles and that it will settle down in time. In the meantime, the trailer soounds like it's self-destructing whenever we move it backwards.
It doesn't seem right to us - has anyone else had this problem?
Thank you in advance.
