Question:

I just bought a used 2020 Grand Design 351M with Dexter #7000 axels the Equa-Flex installed. In going over the trailer I found the 2 top wet bolts that go from the Equa-Flex to the springs on the right side would not take any grease. I changed out the zerk fittings and still no luck. What would be the replacement bolts and bushing? What cause this problem?

Expert Reply:

The Wet Equalizer Bolt with Locknut and Grease Zerk # 126B2 and Bronze Bushing # D014-077-00 can be used to replace the wet bolts that are frozen on your 2020 Grand Design Momentum 351M.

The wet bolts on the Momentum were most likely not serviced properly from the dealer/owner of the camper is my guess. If water got into the bushings and caused rust to develop this is what I feel may be causing you to not be able to install grease into the bolt. Typically the grease zerk will be the first to fail and if not addressed they probably decided to just let it go rather than to address the issue at the time.
