Help!..I have a 2004 Sarafi Cheetah on a Roadmaster R 4 Chassis, with Delux Suspension, i.e Koni Shocks and IPD sway bar.
The end link bushings over the rear axle are missing.
No one seems to know where to get new bushings . Called Monaco, Hellwig, IPD, Steermaster, lazydayzs etc.--no help

Anyone have an answer?? Feel free to email to dbrown1852@gmail.com

Thanks
Don

Don,
Which "trailing arm replacement kit" do you have? If none, suggest a complete reading of the trailing arm thread 2 or 3 below yours.

Hi all:
Thanks for the replys. I tried 6 People at Monaco, all they know about is the R8 chassis, however they did try very hard. I am having the trailing arms replaced with Source Eng Aems at Wildwood next month even though they were have been replaced by Monaco once..,( same as the old ones).
Found out finally that Source Eng also has the bushings and those guys are super customer service oriented.. what a pleasure to deal with them. Seems Monaco is the only co. in thw world to use these bushings and even then, only on the Cheetah. Wildwood is the place that put me on Source and they also seem to be dedicated to their customers, even before I decided to have them replace the arms.
I asked Source about their Ride Enhancement kit for this coach, and instead of saying I needed it..$2k plus, he (Scott) advised I already had an Delux suspension and to spend another $2k would not be wise, Instead, He advised as to how I can adjust my existing Koni Shocks to help the "porpoising" we get once in awhile..cutting himself out of a $2 grand sale... that's service in my book.
So that's it.. what a hassle but calling around finally paid off.
Thanks again for your comments!!!!

opps..forgot.. , IPD seems to make only car suspension parts now. For R4, they refer you to Roadmaster, who only wants to talk about the R8 Chassis, they refer you to Supersteer, who also do not deal in the R4.
Source Eng seems to be the only Co. that knows the R4--Scott designed it when he was with Monaco
