Hi everyone Perhaps this questions been asked before on this site We have a tandem axle offroad caravan and the trailing tyres are wearing excessively on the inside shoulders .I'm towing 3.2 tonne on 16 x8 in with cooper atr,s We do as much gravel road as possible so i would have thought the fronts would be wearing the same .So does anyone know if there is such a thing as a wheel alignment for simplicity suspensions .The tyres have only done 25000 k's and i might be lucky to get 55000 k's We're in
Perth and heading to the caravan show tomorrow. May find someone there who can tell me something, .Would love to hear from anyone who;s had a similar problem with theirs. Cheers Red tail black

Hi Red Tail
Simplicity
suspension is adjustable and can be done 'on the road', however best bet is to find a truck alignment business and it will be easy for them and accurate with their equipment. We couldn't go to a regular tyre place because we were too big to get in most workshops. We had ours checked when away last year, as one wheel sometimes looked at a bit of an angle then next stop it looked OK so we blamed the lay of the land until the uneven tyre wear could be noticed. The alignment was fine, but on further examination there was a very slight bow in the axle. A simple job for the truck aligner whilst on the work pit.
Do you have the phone number of the manufacturer of the
suspension? They are very helpful. MM me if you would like contact name and number.

Hi Motherhen,
Thanks for this info will follow up with one of the trucking companies. We spoke to Elross at the show today and he said they need it quite often if we are doing lots of corrugated roads.
Are you going up to the National Judy it will be great to meet you one day.
Cheers Julie and Brian
