During two months and about 5,000 miles of the above travel, the struts were not in proper adjustment and so the problem Bob describes above was caused. See the picture attached.
But we also found a significant amount of other wear inside the hitch, where you can't see it. The zerk fittings were nearly wiped out on the inside. The bushings were badly worn ("ovalized") too. And this was with regular lubrication. I'll be blogging more about this tomorrow and I'll post photos there, if you are interested in what happens inside a Haha during normal use. |
When you indicate that your struts were "not in proper adjustment", do you mean that you did not tighten them as desribed in the owners manual, or was there another problem?
