Again, this fifh wheel was purchased new in Sept 2011 and has only been towed about 35 miles including delivery from IN to FL. It really makes me wonder why this happened so soon and I what the real longevity of the springs will be. I wonder how many folks are pulling the fivers with shear springs like this? Thanks, Phillip
How about real bad ?? I believe there are different load range on those rubber springs, and possible they got the wrong ones
Yeah, exactly what I thought! Talked to Mor Ryde today and they are going to send me a replacement for the one that I have pix of. The other one is OK - just a slight "cut" in it that is well within the margins for wear. I still think that is odd for such a new coach with such few miles. Anyway, Andrew at MorRyde said it is called bonded seperatoin (ya think?) and it is very rare. He is enclosing a return label for the defective spring. phillip

Phillip, glad to see you received a satisfactory resolution to your problem. I'm thinkin' MorRyde is very interested in seeing your defective spring to study what may have been wrong.

Me thinks they call it Watergate Although IMO Mor/ryde is a very good company to work with.
OP would you have noticed the (flaw) seperation in a normal inspection or did the wet bolt installation reveal the problem?
