X-Ray Tech?.....

Ya know, I noticed that rusty brake rotor when I looked at the picture.
Don't know why I didn't see it while I was under the coach. It's drizzling
rain and cold out. Was kinda in a hurry to get done and back in. I'll
have to check that out prolly tomorrow.

Thanks
 
Look at that frontal picture and see if the line in the CV boot is a crack.
It's just to the right of the crease. Just looked like one to me but wasn't
sure and didn't want to alarm you with what is probably my bad eyesight.
Yet, it would be better to find out now than on the road in the middle of
nowhere.

I did notice that spot Roger. It's a little weather checked but ain't
cracked through yet.

Thanks

GMC used a regular Toronado lower A frame and reinforced it with the straps
that you see.

We got us a Kodak DC260 for Christmas. I'm still experimenting with it but
it looks like it's gonna be a winner.

I couldn't get in a position to look at what I was shooting through the
view finder so I just held it about where I thought it needed to be, let it
autofocus, and snapped it. The detail would have probably been better
detail if I'd cleaned the grime off the parts but .......oh, well. I'll
know next time.

I haven't had any trouble stopping the coach but still am gonna make sure I
got plenty o brake on the front wheels.

Thanks Tom
Since this is the only one I've ever looked at, I just wondered if there
had been problems and this was some mechanic's quick fix.
