Alert 2021 Signature 8288SB axles

[jgmartz]

Took my rig in for wheel bearing service and discovered both wheels on the front axle had either sheared off the bolts holding the backing plate to the hub or the nuts had fallen off. Mechanics feel the bolts were never tightened at the factory and I'd been pulling this thing all over God's green earth with loose parts slamming around. Lucky I didn't lose the whole assembly or worse.

Had that on my cargo! The brake bound up and it bent the axle. And yes it was Dexter's fault and they made good!
