Recommended Posts

On the road at Kartcher cavern SP in AZ.

Since we are here for a week, I decided to  Replace all tires and installed 4 new shocks at 50k miles.  
 

 At same time checked springs for wear /cracks and re-lubed all Zerks. 
 

The tires had simply aged out but one in particular had an odd scalloping wear pattern.   (Cause was a slightly loose bearing castle nut on that right/front wheel.) 

The shocks were getting a bit rusty and I decided to change as prevention.  ( All 4 seemed functional upon removal.) 

Since the original tires  were 16” LT Michelin, I stuck with the brand and now run:

Michelin Agilis Cross Climate

LT225 /75 R16 115R E1 BSW

Shock replacement is:

Monroe Magnum RV 555001

I was able to get the tires at a local Discount Tire in Sierra Vista. ( took 3 in one day and 2 the next as we had chores in town. ) 

Ordered shocks online and shipped to my sisters who we visited on the way here. Shocks went on quickly once the unit was jacked up so suspension was hanging. 
 

All set for the next stage of our trip where we will  meet up with several owners at Ladybird Johnson for the Eclipse.
