Reminds me of that famous song, "The Bogie Boogie", or the way mine drives....

By the way, what kind of change was made in '75?

.... it is possible to do damage by allowing the system to go all the way down.
1973's and 1974's would rest on the PLASTIC wheel-wells and cracking them.
Larger tires make it even worse. They changed the wheel-wells and the boogie
castings in 1975....

Gary asked,

"what changes were made in 75?"

The bogie pins were enlarged and a stop was made for the bogie arms. At some point fiberglass wheel well liners were introduce and they have a concave area over each wheel to allow more clearance.

Just info, here is a link to the recall also..http://gmcmotorhome.info/rear.html#RECALL
