I have noticed considerable push and pull of my coach when semi's and box trucks roll by me. I have read posts or articles in the past that indicate this may be problems with rear suspension. When truck gets about half way down my side, coach pushes away. After passing by, coach pulls towards truck. I realize some of this is normal, but I think mine is excessive. My coach is a 73 and I believe I still have the original (smaller) bogie pins. I see that GM had a recall on this years ago. I assume I can't roll this 46 year old coach in for this recall at my local dealer.
I have replaced knuckles/bearing (Lenzi), KB shocks (front), all tie rod ends and ball joints are good.
I greased bogies and replaced bearings and brakes on the rear. I did not replace the rear shocks yet.
Does anyone have a suggestion on upgrading my rear suspension or helping this cause?
