Hit the road jack!

YAY!
With the assistance of John I'm a major step closer to hitting the road!
Needed:
Front wheel seal repair.
Front shock repair.

Getting a new set of batteries (two banks of golf cart batteries..... more AH for less $$$.
In restless dreams I walked alone.

Moby,

Assume by "front wheel seal repair" that you have gear oil leaking from either the inner or outer wheel seal.  Need to make sure to get all the oil off the brake shoes and to properly set bearing end-play. Many OTR trucks use the same system.

What is wrong with the shocks that you need a "repair"?  What shocks do you have?

Front wheel seal repair.

On your year coach they used at least 2 different inner seals. The most popular ones that I have seen/replaced are Stemco # 308-0863 I don't have the other number here handy. The big problem is that until you pull the hub down there is no way to guess which one that your coach has. So don't run out and order one of these until you are sure of the number.

If it is leaking out the outer seal those gaskets and red plugs are available at most any truck shop.

Yeah, inner seal gone.
Mounting bracket for shock is rusted.  Shop will fabricate new.
