Tell me.  I have been waiting for MONTHS for the dealer to get in a new axle 
for my Pace American car hauler.  Seems the previous owners bent the left front 
trailing arm.  The resultant wheel alignment puts that one tire in a contest 
with the other three.  Guess who wins.  So I put a ton of wear on one tire.  
Dealer got in one axle, then said it was wrong and reordered.  Every Friday 
they get in a shipment from the factory.  Every Friday, nothing for Phil.  

So I just called them again.  Now he has decided that the measurements must be 
wrong and I need to bring the trailer in again.  Also he tells me they are open 
Tuesdays and Thursdays until 8:00, something nobody saw fit to mention before, 
even when I groused about having to be there before 5:30.
