I see in the Solitudes under the Construction tab, a line that says "Upgrade Axle Hanger". What exactly does that mean?

John303 welcome to the forum!
In the newest build of the Solitude, the upgraded axle hanger is one that has what we call a V Clip support inside the hanger itself. It aids in strengthening the hanger during strenuous situations and adds more support.
I am not sure we have a picture, but if I can find one... I will add it in this thread.

Since I also experienced hanger failure on my 2018 303rls, Lippert will be adding V Clips to all my hangers this coming Friday at their Goshen plant. It is not expensive to do and would make me feel a lot better about driving my rig around the country. Glad GD is doing this to their new units.

We still don't know if the upgrade/mod is for just rear hangers or all hangers. I'd like to know what's recommended by GD and Lippert.

GDRV-Megan -- John303 asked a question in 9 that was also asked early by Steve.
Here's the question: Are the V-clips installed on all the hangers or just the rear?
Anticipating the next question, the Solitude is getting the new "V" but not the other GD lines?
Thanks!
