Axles offset
I just replaced my manual adjust brakes with self adjusting brakes and at the same time I changed from 205/75R15C to 225/75R15E on my 2011 Coachman Catalina 22FB. Bigger tires. Of course I checked for clearance. Lots of room. Short trip and check showed rubbing in inside wheel well on passenger side. None on driver side, lots of clearance still. ????? turns out that apparently they placed the spring hangers and equalizer hangers too far apart. So instead of removing and correctly placing they just bent the hangers at an angle to the inside to get the springs to fit. of course this caused that side to have the tires closer to the inside fender well. Has anyone seen anything like that right out of the factory.
