Greetings everyone!
I had my coach aligned nearly two years ago, due to excessive outer tire edge wear. The fine folks at Prevost in Dallas were happy to liberate me from a large sum of money. A couple of expensive tires later I was on the road. I've put 35000 miles on since that time and my new tire has worn the edge off all the way to the cords. Prevost Dallas looked at it again, and said that bushings could fail that often. I would suggest they missed it the first time, and now I have a dead tire and another alignment expense.
Anyway, I have had very bad luck there...
So, does anyone know the procedure for replacing the bushings? It looks simple enough, I do plenty of automotive and general fabrication work, so I am going to do this myself.
I am wondering how to stabilize the spindle (upright) when I sperate the upper control arm from the spindle. I am used to doing this on a car where the spindle weighs 15 lbs. The upper control arm bolts look easy enought to remove, and this looks like a fairly simple job.
Prevost quoted me a sum of $1800 to replace these on one side, seems liike a lot for 2 rubber bushings...
Can anyone enlighten me on this task?
Thanks all
