Sway control/Shocks Control

[Bakeryman]

I have a 2004 Damon Intruder 36 ' with 13,000 miles. Everything is good but, seems like alot of side to side sway / rocking. Also on highway alot of rattle when hitting minor bumps, expansion joints etc... might be nature of the beast but has anyone found a better shock (bilstiens stock). Or, what about stabilizer bars. Stock bars seem pretty stout.

The side to side rocking is usually cured by two things...larger anti-roll bars with urethane bushings and heavier shocks.

The class C we had, really had a bad side to side roll and I installed IPD USA anti-roll bars and Bilstein shocks. eliminated the problem.

Also, make sure your tires are up to the correct pressure for your load.

Bakeryman, If your coach is on the Ford F53 chassis, try installing Koni FSD shocks on your front suspension. They really smooth out the ride, you may still get a bit of a gentle sway. Best to install them all the way around. The Bilstein is a great shock and it will stiffen up your ride, but you may get more harshness through your front suspension if you have the F53 chassis.

Good Luck, Jim
