I am bringing a coach back now and it's been he'll so far. Among a list of issues when I picked the coach up was the axle shaft bolts were loose on both sides. I torqued them back down to 75ftlbs and inspected the boots. I thought they both looked good. As soon as I drove it though the steering would lock up. I could turn it back the other way and steer through it with a little affort but driving if I slowly turned the wheel it wouldn't let me go further. At my first 50 mile safety check the front pass hub was super hot. I got under and the boot looked ok till I saw that it was separated and there was grease on the inner wheel. I thought originally the the steering shaft had a bad u-joint. Now I wonder if a bad axle would mimick this behavior? Could a bad bearing cause the axle to heat up and melt the boot? Could it be that I have 3 separate issues? Lack of sleep and exhaustion are taking a toll on my critical thinking right now. I'm in Beaux Bridge and there is a Napa not to far so I am going to limp it over and crash till they open up. I have my interchange with me but my manuals were left in another basket case in Jennings La so I'm not sure what tools I need to change out the axle. I remember reading that I can use a toronado axle but have remove the c-v joint and use my shaft? Any input would be helpful.
Thanx.david
