I know how ya feel Ridge. A little while back Tsubaki posted that he had to work on the springs on his trailer and I commented that his springs looked better than mine. A month later I noticed one had broken in half and was more of a trailing arm than a spring. I replaced all four and took the V to my mechanic to work on my old 225. He called me to tell me that one of the spindles had FALLEN OUT while they were moving it in the yard. Turns out the spindle had just been sitting in the axle tube and the weld had rusted out long ago. Only by the Grace of God it didn't fall out while I was pulling it down the road. Had two new axles built and now I've got two crossmembers rotted out because of galvanic corrosion between the aluminum crossmembers and the galvinized steel bunk brackets.
Not to mention I blew some rings on the 225 and broke down and bought a new engine. Break Out Another Ten Thousand
