Hello All.
speaking as a man new to motorhomes but as an ex automotive design and development engineer , can I ask a question.
Looking around the forum I see that Alko axles need greasing , using a single nipple near each axle end and standard axles do not.
Most unpowered wheel assemblies will use grease retained by seals within the hub to lubricate the bearings with no need for regular greasing.
What's different about an Alko?
Is the greasing to lubricate the torsion bars in some way , or do they have bushes in somewhere with an Alko or what.
I don't have an Alko axle, I'm just curious.
Thank you...........................
