Newest first, as filed with NHTSA by owners.
I have an 05 weekend warrior fs2600 travel trailer. With the owners packet in the trailer was a manual for the alko brand axles which were installed on the trailer.

Here is another pic showing excessive wear on the equalizer pivot http://www.Putfile.Com/pic.Php?Img=4453413 ..I honestly believe that the failure and wear could have been avoided or seriously reduced if the mfg. Recommended a period lube of these parts. This failure did not result in an accident or injury, but I see a real hazard. I have posted this problem on rv.Net and found that I am not the only one to have this problem. I believe the alko company should amend there owners manual to state that lubrication of the suspension points on a regular basis is necessary to help avoid these failures and excessive wear. I have replaced these parts at my own expense to repair the trailer. As I removed the old parts I was alarmed at the wear on all of the friction surfaces of the suspension. I have replaced the suspension equalizers, shackles, and the bolts which attach these parts. *Nm
