The motorhome (mh)was brought in to truck repair facility for alignment of rear axle due to excessive tire wear attributed to rear axle misalignment. When tech's got under the mh it was found that both trailing arms were cracked where the axle mounts to the arms. One was slightly cracked, the other was cracked approx 75% through. Had either arm broken completely through the mh body would have dropped down with possible catastrophic results. Mileage at this time was approx 52,000. Both of these arms had been previously replaced by monaco at approx 17,000 mile under recall in july of 2005.both arms replaced at this time with the same type of arms that cracked as there were no alternative arms available. Experience by other owners with same problem has shown that in all likelihood these replacement arms will also break.
