The damper was gone when we got the coach. Been thinking that GM spent the money to put it on to start with. And we can't have vendors like Jim K starving over the winter. RIGHT. ( GRIN ) Our 78 Royale drves fine to me. Does it help much?

Hey bob, I just got a cyl for my coach from auto zone. It was the same size

and configuration as the one I took off.It had 2 inches of free slide.
Being a hyd mech for 17 years I knew this was wrong, so I went out and bought
one from auto zone for 25 bucks.
I have steering issues and this was the third place I went,  I know I have nuckle problems
but with the weather conditions and working on the ground this was one of the easiest
changes.
The bolts to install it are 5/8 x3 3/8 and 5/8 x2 1/2 with jam nuts

Greetings:

Rivers, wow, your bolts were considerable larger:

“bolts to install it are 5/8 x3 3/8 and 5/8 x2 1/2”

Than the ones I pulled out of mine to do some repairs, which were:

“7/16 x 3 and 7/16 x 2-1/4”

I have a GM damper from an Eldorado that I scraped . It feels great. But I'm not into used parts when the new part aren't that much more. I think that these dampers are more for bump steer. And there's a little help for wander.Bob Dunahugh Happy to be a GMCMI member. Are YOU?
