Amazing! Thank you to the sty for pointing me to @DoubleNickels my door handles will close on their own once again! Double I’ll reach out after the weekend.

@DoubleNickels replacement door handle springs arrived! These things are beefy. My door handles will close on their own easily for the rest of my existence after I get them installed. Really appreciate you providing these to the pig community.
I agree, something every pig owner is going to need at some point. I have mine on the shelve waiting.

Did you get the plastic piece as well?

@PabloCruise i did not get the plastic piece. I used a spare I had but seeing as how brittle these things are…He said he would share the 3D print file with me. I need to figure out how to utilize such a thing locally. Although, I did see shapeways might be back in biz.

Thanks for posting that @J Mack
So many questions...
This isn't the first time you see a company fail when the OGs step away, so nothing original there.
How was all marketplace data lost in the bankruptcy?
Hopefully this will be a good thing.

My oldest and I took advantage of the school holiday and went to explore a somewhat close by reservoir in Marge. Glad we did. Going to be a great spot for summer SUP.

Longer shackles at a good angle.

Funny you mention those shackles @RUSH55. I’m thinking they might go soon. Marge still drives like sh#+ after I had the box rebuilt by Mark and systematically replaced every steering component with OEM equipment from the tires all the way to the steering wheel. I get some scary road wander when I hit potholes etc. I also measured and adjusted for toe in using the TMR guides that I purchased after seeing warnog use them in one of his threads. Great product and super easy to use.
The only thing I haven't done is shackles and associated rubber, shocks, and/or looked into shims to put under the springs to correct driveline angle which I have read can be an huge help in correcting steering wander. Maybe if I knock those 3 things out it’ll make all the difference
I’m already 2 summers behind dialing Marge in for reliable summer fun so the push is on!

The shims are more to correct the caster than the driveline angle, and it sounds like that is what you need. The front 55 axles are set to 0° caster. With those longer front shackles your caster is probably around -2°/-3°, which will cause the wandering you’re describing.
