Front Shock Replacement
I want to replace the front shocks. This is a 2001 Endeavor 38PBD coach. I can't find any reference to the shock part number in my owners manual and I can't find any part numbers doing a search for motor home shocks for this unit. Can anyone steer me in the right direction.

Not sure if this helps, because I find the chart is incorrect for my MH (I have a stem top and eye bottom and chart shows eye/eye mountings). I thinks yours is the same as the '01 Monaco Diplomat. You might want to double check with Bilstein if plans to use them. http://www.bilsteinus.com/uploads/tx...me_0811_01.pdf

Bilstein makes only two shocks with the stem/pin on top -- 24-186605 for the front & 24-186612 for the rear -- That`s why I asked if he would post a picture -- If it`s eye-eye , then I would have no idea what shock it takes -- Bill Willard

Well....it's eye & eye. The top "bolt" is actually a stud welded in horizontally. The bottom is a bolt that can come out.

I replaced mine last year and they are eye eye that slides over a stud on top and bolts through at the bottom. I don't know the part number but will try to get it off the shock. They were very hard to locate, apparently Bilstein no longer manufactures them and you need to find a retailer like shocks.com that has them in their warehouse. Mine cost about $80 each, and Source Engineering wanted $168 each.

Search for shocks based on the chassis not the house that is built on it. The coach is probably built on a Roadmaster Chassis but you should dig a bit deeper to verify and find the specific model and/or weight capacity just to ensure you get the correct shock.

It is a Roadmaster Chassis. R3000. 30,000lbs. 4 shocks on the front. The shock that is on there now is a Monroe CL08TA1C. I don't get anything when I look them up but I want to change to a better shock. The coach has 70k miles on it. It porpoises a lot telling me the shocks are gone.

If you could find the part number I would certainly appreciate that.

You're welcome. It won't take you long to replace the shocks, especially if you have an air gun.
