williams01 Report post Posted February 22, 2019 Came across the recall and decided to climb under and see if my 04 HR Ambassador had the bad arms. I can’t tell- it almost seems like one is cracked but unsure... (It’s been raining so wasn’t ideal deal to crawl under) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When Monaco (the original Monaco Corp) identified the problem and did the recall, they replaced the defective trailing arms with exactly the same BAD DESIGN. So, even if you have paperwork that shows a replacement, you need to confirm that they are the newer much stronger design. This is pretty well covered in the link I posted above.

manholt Report post Posted February 23, 2019 Brett, that link is priceless for anyone with a R4 or RR4. Even if you have the good one, there is a full explanation of what you need. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
