Calendar Event: Bent Axles/Camber Issues Posted: 08 May 2019 at 4:51pm |
Interested in idea of how many owners of Pods have experienced axle issues, and if that axle was a Dexter or a Lippert. The fix or mod is not so important as the regularity of axle failure and what axle you experienced it with. Thanks

I think you already know my answer. You might want to see if you can turn this into a poll. Mine was Lippert, replaced after it lost its camber after our big trip last year.

Its not my poll so this is just a suggestion. Ideally we would get everyone who reads this topic to vote, whether they have had a problem or not, that way we could start to get at the percent of folks who have had problems in general and with each axle type. For example, if there are 10x as many rPods with Lippert axles as Dexters, having 10x as many Lippert failures wouldn't be at all surprising. Just a thought...

I had a Dexter axle, But as I found out at the rally in Goshen it was only rated at 3000#. FR replaced it with a 3500# Lippert Axle. Both lost the camber. That is why I went through all this trouble. |
