What was wrong
Defect
THE BOLTS THAT CLAMP THE MOR/RYDE SUSPENSION BEAM AND LOWER MOUNTING PLATE TO THE AXLE MAY BREAK AS A RESULT OF MISALIGNMENT OF THE BOLTS DUE TO NON-PARALLEL SURFACES OF THE UPPER BEAM PLATE AND THE LOWER BOTTOM PLATE. ANOTHER CONTRIBUTING FACTOR IS THE ABSENCE OF SHEAR BLOCKS TO THE UPPER SPACER PAD.
Manufacturer remedy
MANUFACTURER WILL INSTALL NEW MOR/RYDE BEAM ASSEMBLIES, LOWER MOUNTING PLATES, BOLTS, NUTS AND WASHERS.
