After a shackle broke on my TT. I am in the middle of installing the ez flex

My question is I have everything torqued correctly but one of the shackles at the ez flex has a little bit of play......should I be concerned about this?

UPDATE:

I put the wheels back on and now it feels tight....can't wiggle it

I suspect it is because it is now under load...anyone else run in to this?

I don't think it is suppose to be real tight. Mine had variations during install also.

Thanks ....i'm stating the other side now

I seem to remember some of the original shackles were a little loose unloaded

So far it has not been a hard job just the prep work......I assuming the other side will go faster now I have done one side done

When you take it out for a road test, let us know what you think of it. I know I liked my ride better, and like the fact I can keep it greased.

Has anyone experienced more trailer sway after adding this suspension?

I didn't. The ride got better for mine.

vacuumbed,

thanks for the tip on the tool rental - I'm sure that will be useful for other members... For myself, it's another tool for my collection [emoticon] [emoticon] ...

Glad to see so many of our members are having success with this mod... [emoticon]
