Question Jayco 361 REQS

I was wanting to know if anyone has changed the spring bolts to a wet bolt kit or used the neverfail bushing. Don't know to much about the Dexter axles. I know in the other campers that I have owned the little plastic bushings last about a year. Haven't seen much on this on the Jayco's. Thanks

Yep, I did mine a few years ago, and your right those plastic bushings can go fast causing all sorts of problems if you don't watch them.

Here is a little info on my wet bolt project: http://www.jaycoowners.com/showthrea...ighlight=bolts

I purchased a set of Never fail bushings a few months ago and plan to replace the on this rig soon. I had a wet bolt kit on my last rig but this seems less expensive and does the same thing.

No indication of excess wear after towing over 7K miles.

I'm thinking of doing this soon as everything is new and not wore. Think would be better than instead of later. I can't find to much on the Neverfail for miles and wear on them. I know what the company says BUT?
