Hi Jake

You bend it back to original shape.

Move it with a porta power or expanding bolt and tube. Reinforce the frame
so it will not bend. Peen the arm to cause it to take set. Release
pressure. Measure. Repeat.

Hi everybody!
I was originally going to introduce myself before getting in trouble but...
We bought couple weeks ago our first coach, its a 77 Palm Beach 26ft
37000ml, original interior, painted outside about 10yars ago in orinal
colors and theme.
Our friend is now driving it from Los Angeles to Galveston TX to get shipped
in Finland, and in first leg just before Phoenix AZ noticed that right side
mid tire was wearing out fast.
After closer look and road side tape measuring it seems that right front
bogie is bent in and it is 3/4" closer to frame than opposite side.
Do anybody happens to know where to find straight bogie arm
nearby/reasonable distance from Phonix, or is it possible to bend back in
original shape?
