Front Springs Install

We had the front springs replaced by Brazel's RV as many of you know.
Here is a pictorial of it being done -

I was a bit disturbed when I took this picture. (I had never seen the lower control arm in this position.) You can see the new blue spring ready to be installed.
Here you can see Terry geting ready to have someone  jack up the arm. (Notice the bump-stop just past his left arm.)


Here is a pic of Terry making sure he has the spring perfectly aligned.

This is Terry when he knows he has the spring perfectly placed!

You can see Terry finishing up the job in this photo.

Front Spring Replacement

There are things which may not get done when "Mama" says 'we are going come Hell or High Water'. That was the case when we took off for this last trip.

DH started airing up the front airbags that are part of the original airbag/spring combination which was standard on this motorhome. I guess 18 years plus takes it's toll on airbags. They would not hold air. 


We decided that it was time to replace the springs.  A phone call was made while we were on the road. Alan at Brazel's RV Performance was gracious enough to make room for us on their schedule.
Wednesday morning our technician Terry showed up at our doorstep letting us know he was ready to start work on our Diamond.
Here is a photo of the new spring -


And you can see a little difference with the old and new springs side by side here-


The new spring is thicker and stronger...besides being blue!
