Hey Ya'll ....
I helped Andy locate my full name and realize that, although my axles have few miles on them and
I consider them NEW, they are actually OLD. i.e. I ordered and installed them December '08. You know what that means, they are Out Of Warrantee!
But guess what? Andy figured a way to get me a new backing plate FOC. Yippie!
Andy feels that I need to replace this part on my offending location to preclude possible problem while towing. And he's getting it to me w/i 24 hrs so I have time to complete the R&R before Friday morning. Not that I really needed another project - but, with Andy's concern and effort to get me the parts ASAP, I understand it's the right thing to do and shouldn't be left for later. My luck, something awful would happen if I don't do it!
Thanks everyone for your input and thanks Andy for taking the time and effort to assist! Another reason to buy your Henschen Axles from Inland - customer support just never ends!
