My last 2 5th wheels, as well as a couple different friends RVs, had those plastic so called bushings that failed in a very short while.
I've wondered if those were strictly for shipping & intended for replacement with real bushings when the springs were installed at the factory? Anyone know for sure? They are very cheesy for a RV of any amount of weight.
Anyone that has a RV with more than a couple thousand miles I'd recommend inspecting their bushings & replacing with good heavy shackles, bronze bushings & wet bolts.
