Open Roads Forum  >  Class A Motorhomes  >  General Topics  > 2002 Pace Arrow Kwikee 2-Step Arm Linkage (A) Broke Reply to Topic  |  Subscribe  |  Print Topic  |  Post New Topic  |  Oldest first Newest first  Page of 2   Next cyberham • View posts Sunshine Coast, BC New Member Joined: 09/12/2022 View Profile Offline Posted: 09/12/22 09:02pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator My Kwikee steps were working fine until one day the A arm linkage that connects the motor to the actual steps broke in half. So the only item I need to replace is the arm linkage. The motor and all else work fine. But I can't find this pre-IMGL A arm linkage anywhere. It's replacement number is LC379649. My Kwikee steps are from the days when the company was located in Cottage Grove, Oregon. Any tips? enblethen • View posts Moses Lake, WA Senior Member Joined: 01/05/2005 View Profile Posted: 09/12/22 09:34pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Try Colaw Bud USAF Retired Pace Arrow 2003 Chev Ice Road Tracker cyberham • View posts Sunshine Coast, BC New Member Joined: 09/12/2022 View Profile Offline Posted: 09/12/22 10:55pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator I sent Colaw a request.

The material the link is made of is perhaps "pot metal" which I've heard can't be welded. I may just try the newer A linkage (379160) and also get a new motor (676061) which is supposed to be necessary to be compatible with the new linkage assembly. enblethen • View posts Moses Lake, WA Senior Member Joined: 01/05/2005 View Profile Posted: 09/13/22 09:35am Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Just checked the one in my garage. The linkage has strange connection to the body. Mine looks similar to this!Linkage enblethen • View posts Moses Lake, WA Senior Member Joined: 01/05/2005 View Profile Posted: 09/13/22 09:48am Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Looked harder at mine. The linkage is connect to pivot with what looks like a hot rivet. Found this on Amazon! Things changed when Kwikee sold out to Lippert!

They should work on mine but I will also need to source a new motor if I use those. I may take a chance and get this since the older pre-IMGL version is not to be found. enblethen • View posts Moses Lake, WA Senior Member Joined: 01/05/2005 View Profile Posted: 09/13/22 12:59pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Newer models may need the magnetic door switch changed out. Did quick look. Prices are nearly as much as I paid for complete step at Colaws a few years back. I was at their facility, no freight. Any salvage yards have MHs in your area?

I was thinking of a hack....join two camping stakes by chain or rope then thread them through the steps and bang the stakes into the ground. Then the steps are fixed down. To raise the steps only for travel, I could wire the steps up. Very little travel planned in the short term; we'll be mostly fixed through this winter. No MH salvage on the Sunshine Coast. This is a small community separated by ferry from greater Vancouver and Chilliwack.
