Robert U Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Reported earlier about hitting a giant pothole in South Carolina on I85N. I was towed by a very good tow driver to Carolina Upstate Diesel in Greer,SC. They were backed up on work for 5 days but had my MH fixed on Feb 21st.I picked it up on the 24th. They removed the steer box and had it rebuilt locally. It works like a dream. This shop mainly works on MH chassis and engines. Luckly for me to find them as we were stuck in a rest area for 3 nights. I highly recommend them. Bob U 2000 Dip P.S. They charged me $1,744 for the work. Very friendly and a delight to do business with them. Bob U 2000 Dip 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrAmbassador Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Bob, if I may ask, what was the name of the shop that repaired the steering box. Did it reduced the steering play? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Jones Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Where, on I-85 was that pothole? I'm getting ready to travel that route. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert U Posted March 1, 2022 Author Share Posted March 1, 2022 Ron, It was on a bridge between mile marker 13 and 14 going north on I 85 in SC. It cracked a seal on the steering box and I lost all fluid. I see you are still full timing it. Did you attend Monaco Rally this year ?

Robert U Posted March 1, 2022 Author Share Posted March 1, 2022 Mr. Ambassador , They took it to spring service for the rebuild. I don't know if that is the name of the company. Carolina Upstate Diesel can tell you. Phone # 864-655-4446. The rebuild was $820. The repair shop had to torch the bolts to get them off as they were frozen. I did not have hardly any play before and none now. Coach has 130,300 miles on it. The pothole cracked a seal. Bob U 2000Dip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
