Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Complaint regarding inspections on suspensions and safety braking systems on fleetwood folding trailers. *mr the vehicle was purchased new. while driving the vehicle had considerable amounts of sway which made it difficult to drive the vehicle. it was later found that a shackle bolt had fallen out and another one was never torqued properly which caused excessive play. the four bolts holding the axle to the leaf spring were improperly torqued. about six mainframe cross body truss supports were missing weld to the frame and body near the wheel well. the wheel retainer nuts were loose. the tongue retainer locking jaw had large burrs/flashing that dug into the receiver ball. the consumer believes the dealer and manufacturer should perform consistent inspections of the suspension system of newly delivered products prior to the consumer taking possession of the vehicle.
