Our coach suddenly started shaking from side to side over 45 mph. Anyone know of a place between Orlando and Tampa we can have it checked out? We're about 47 miles from the Co-Op, it's late Saturday afternoon, so we figure we're not gonna have much luck until Monday.
Any advice would be appreciated. It could be something as simple as a bad tire, but not sure who could check it for us around here.
Anyone with a good number for the Co-Op please respond. They aren't answering the published one at this time.
Thanks,
-Michael (216)403-4336

Check for lost bolts on the front drive shafts inner joints. These have been known to fall out. If someone can drive along you in a car at 45 and observe the source of shake down to front or rear etc. Also with 2 people one can sit in drivers seat in park engine idling and turn wheel from like 10-2 o'clock while other checks for loose front end parts if you are comfortable doing this test. Check for broke shock mounts too. That's a start.

Oh man, I hope he makes it to Jim's. I am sure Jim told him what to check. When one of those axles comes loose it is something. Be lucky not to tear up something. Could be a bad tire too. Mine got to galloping once. Stopped and had tires rotated and balanced. Got rid of it. Maybe that is his problem.
Let us hear back.
