| Description of the problem | I have a shasta airflyte reissue and when receiving it from the dealer and towing it home, i found that the tires had rubbed the wheel well. There was only about an inch of clearance at the top and only about 1/2 inch on the inside wall of the wheel well. The driver side, or road side is closer than the passenger side?? Shasta, thru the dealer, put a banana shackle on to raise the clearance. I still only have 1 3/4" on driver side, and 2 1/4" on passenger side, and about 1" on the inside wall. The problem seems that the springs are cheap, from china, and flat. Adding a shackle doesn't solve the problem, just makes more sway. The wheels are offset making the tires come closer to the inside wall, and the tires and wheels are for passenger cars, which are not safe either. |
