New Axles for '76 Argosy 26
Hi folks - I haven't posted for awhile, work tends to get in the way of the more pleasant parts of life, it seems. I just wanted to say that thanks to reading the threads in this forum, and especially the good advice given by Andy at Inland RV I was able to diagnose the problems I was having with my 1976 Argosy 26. You see, rivets were popping, bulkheads were shifting, and things had started falling all over after a short tow. I had replaced the shocks with new, and the problem persisted. After reading on this forum, and on the Inland RV website about axle droop, I concluded that was my problem. Talking with Andy on the phone, confirmed my diagnosis. I ordered 2 new complete axles from Andy, and was able to upgrade my GVWR by 10% and go from 10" to 12" brakes for the same price! The axles were drop shipped to my installer in NJ, no problem, complete as ordered. I am very pleased with the result. Smooth towing and handling, and amazing brake performance are now mine! I can now haul down my rig by trailer brakes alone in an emergency (99 Dodge Quad Cab Long bed 2500 V10 4X4), something the old brakes could could only dream about. The price was cheap for all the piece of mind and added years of use from the Argosy it has bought. Many thanks to this forum and Andy for the good advice. - Guy
