MTPLM dilema

[otherclive]

What concerns me about Al-ko failed axles is that it has Not gone away.
Over ten years ago we were discussing this very subject.

Sadly to date I am not aware of any qualified techie expert engineer who can challenge Al-ko, the caravan manufacturer and Dealer. Why is it always the caravan owners fault the axle has failed🙉.
