I have a 2013 Benz sprinter, last week the alternator went and left me about 10 miles, (and 10 minutes), from home. So I called AAA to have it towed. 6 hours later it arrived at 11:00 pm at night. It was dark, but I did notice that every time they moved the flatbed, my van would roll forward or backward. A lot. The next morning I got a new alternator and got to work replacing it. When I was done, I got it started and took it down the road. There were 2 lights that I couldn't figure out on the dashboard and the check engine light. Long story short, I discovered that my passenger side rear wheel was rubbing on the mud flap and my axle was way crooked. So I got at that. I discovered 2 things, A) my U-bolts were loose, on both sides!!??? And B) there is NO pin to locate the axle on the leaf spring.
(the dashboard lights were on because the axle was crooked, once straightened, they went out).
Is it normal for the sprinter vans to not have the locating pin?
Thanks.
