dexter torflex suspension

Hi Bill, that is the message I got when I was planning my van, the rubbers can rapidly detioriorate. Agents at Melbourne Trailers said that the dusty off bitumen conditions will soon chew them out. I went back to the drawing board and settled for the old fashioned springs. However I did get shockers fitted.

"I have also been involved in a few independant suspension failures.... "

What's the most common failure with independent setups?

My brother had the same problem, swing arm broke off & disappeared along with wheel etc. never to be seen again.

We had a small part break in the Dexter brakes fitted to our van. I inadvertently e-mailed the US headquarters of Dexter with a couple of pics and they said they'd replace it immediately and I should contact their sole Oz supplier in Melbourne.
This I did and was assured the small part would be in the post immediately.
Then for over 4 weeks we were given many put offs before it finally arrived.
I think the manu of our van in Melbourne and the bloke at the brake supplier deliberately didn't send it immediately as I'd taken a court action against the van maker and retailer on other matters so that was their petty way of getting back at us.
Be aware they have only one outlet in Australia if things go wrong.
