The galvanizing gunge in the bush area SHOULD NOT have been left as it was and
suspension built around it.
Whoever is responsible for that has assembled the gear with little knowledge or recognition of the consequences.
Who do you think assembles these things, highly qualified mechanics or staff who can tighten a nut.
If it is
suspension items tightened against lumps of a soft material like zinc but has to with stand high pressure or force, then the zinc will give way every time. ( zinc is a greasy slippery material)
They know that is possible because of the years of production experience and although they possibly would never admit to anything they are prepared to rectify the situation. Good on them.
If they prepped or even inspected the bush sites prior to assembly it would never have happened. Not so good on them.
I agree taking it to a caravan dealer who may not recognize the base problem is/would be a waste of time.
Do you think it is possible the company has had similar
suspension movement issues and so knew exactly what to rectify when you fronted up with an alignment problem.
To me, very to have happened before.
When the cost of checking them beforehand, outweighs the number of failures and that cost to repair, then they will be more diligent beforehand.
Did they fit a new tyre?
