    Good Luck. Sometimes I have to stop everything. Take a step back, relax and focus. The mind gets so wound up, trying to do everything practical and perfect. Occasional 2 steps backwards to continue going forward. Not much in the big picture. My Dad used to say, “ Sometimes you just gotta say F It! “ Lol. Be safe, we’re rooting for you.

    looks like it’s a tow. Tire guys won’t replace anything because of bent spring they say.

    Might as well tow it to a Shop. Fix the spring. Get a room relax. Drive home.

    That’s the plan. Just hope I’m not out for a week, as the only shop here is freightliner.

    They’re always backed up. Unless you can somehow get on their good side. Maybe they know a Mobile Mechanic in the area, and they’ll be happy to seek you parts. Seems all Freightliner cares about is Warranty work for big Customers and easy money. They’re good for parts. KW and Pete seem better at Service for OO’s though. Hopefully their springs aren’t too expensive. Michigan Spring has decent prices. If Freightliners parts are backed up, might have to order your own. They’ve told me 6 mo backlog on some parts readily available online.

    There’s a couple shops right near Freightliner by the Loves. One is Lowe’s the other is Baldwin’s. They both have good reviews.

    I appreciate it. I already bit the bullet and towed it to freightliner. They too had a bunch of good reviews.
