On friday afternoon i was backing my TT into my parents driveway which is kind of steep and i was taking a pretty good angle at it, but when backing in I could kind of feel one of the tires binding and then a "pop" sound....i can almost compare it to what it sounds like when a detroit locker unloads under a lot of pressure...is this supposed to happen? to release the pressure on one side to allow the other side to turn? thanks for any help~Chris

I could (and do!) put up with a lot of creaky noises before I'd be greasing my suspension before every trip! :E It's enough that I'm supposed to clean and re-grease my Equal-i-zer (I rarely do...), no way am I doing that. :B

You would be surprised! Take a look at this thread for some pictures of those bolts and bushings.:E Barney
That's about what I would expect if I were to take mine apart if not even worse. The stupid axel manufactures should have made it right in the first place like the kit was installed in that thread. If I were going long distances I would install that.

The wheels are independent. The tub is just structural/hollow. No axle shafts.
