2018 Suspension 310GK

[Nuffsaid]

Can anyone tell me if the Solitude 2018 310GK has greasable bolts on the spring shackles and brass bushings? If not, it will be my first upgrade.

While I can't speak for the Solitude line diresty, the 2018 Reflection 5th wheels ( lower model level then the Solitudes ) has all greasable bolts.

Thanks, one less thing to worry about

After looking under my new Solitude, I can tell you that the equalizer end of the springs have wet bolts, but the fixed ends do not. I will replace these soon and possibly upgrade the spring shackles.

I ordered a more ryde shackle kit and installed one side last night while replacing greasy brakes. So to update everyone, the springs have brass bushings, the spring eyes aren't perfectly round, so the brass bushings are egg shaped and have cracks. I replaced the egg shaped bushings, but it will happen again, poor quality springs. The bolts on the fixed ends of the springs are not wet bolts from the factory, they are now. I also installed all of the new bolts with the zerk fittings facing the outside so greasing will be easy.
