| Description of the problem | Tires on the stbd side of the trailer are rubbing against the bottom of the trailer. The leaf springs looked flat. I have found several other forest river "coachman freedom express" models with the same issue. The tires rub when in motion damaging the bottom of the trailer and will potentially lead to a blown tire. |
