New shocks, steer safe and rattling microwave

2 weeks ago I had Steer safe install a one of their units on our 34M DP. Immediately I noticed I was not correcting the wheel all the time. On Mexican roads with high crowns I did not have to over correct. No short unit will ever handle like our 42 ft. Dynasty but it is more than acceptable. When we returned I installed new Konis. WOW!! The OEM Sachs are useless. You can extend and retract with one weak hand! The ride imp roved and it handles even better. BUT I still had a lot of noise inside when drivi9ng on the Mexican roads. Some of these roads are old ashphalt that has cobwebs , cracks and potholes. Even the paper plates rattle. But the microwave made the most noise. WE keep the plate and the rolling track on the bed. I did some searching on a few forums but did not encounter much other than " my dealer fixed the problem". FW and others used a GE micro/convection in the early to mid 2000's. In a longer unit the noise would not be as bad. I removed the wood panel over the micro and there were 2 problems. If you remove the front plastic vent there is a mesh metal filter inside. GE double faced taped it to the micro. The heat must have softened the adhesive. I cleaned it up and used some HD 3M tape. The micro is hung from the top of the slide out by 3 metal brackets supplied by FW. Poor design and the brackets rub against the top of the micro and squeak. I undid the brackets and placed some rubber pads between the brackets and the micro. Tightened everything and I think the problem is cured. I cannot move the micro nor get it to squeak. I won't know if all is good until we take the MH out in the new year.
