Koni FSD Shocks

[brad barton]

David,
I'm having it checked. You're probably right about doing the other side.
It makes sense, but my Newell showed the same thing..oil residue around the
left dual, and we just replaced the axle seal that was leaking and never had
to touch the other side. We did end up replacing both brake shoes and drums
on both sides, but that was with 145K miles. Even had to replate and weld
the frame cracks around the duals, but never replaced the curbside axle
seal.
I hope my bird with 37K won't need much of that maintenance for a while.
The bus chassis guy who worked on it was a big believer in..if it ain't
broke, don't even touch it. My two biggest concerns at the moment are a
terrific chatter at mid-coach which is probably an unsecured new kitchen
drain rubbing against the rear slide rail and cutting down on the
porpoising. Having it stored 40 miles away, using it every few weeks, it's
hard to get everything fixed up as quickly as I want.
