Scott,

I'm not trying to be a smart ass and would like to help you as demonstrated
by the fact that I posted the GMC alignment specs for you.

However, you're asking a group of people that own GMC motorhomes to tell you
if the control arms in your Revcon are different from the GMC.

I for one have never seen a Revcon "in the flesh." Let alone crawled under
it to examine the control arms to see if they're different from the ones on
my GMC.

If I were you I'd do a search on the GMC Photo site for "front suspension"
or "control arms;" print the pictures out and then take a front wheel off
your Revcon and compare them.

In fact if you remove one of your wheels, take some pictures of your control
arms and post them to the GMC Photo Site I'd be happy to look at them and
give you my opinion if they're the same or not.

Even then how would you know if the bushings are the same.

Thanks Folks,

I appreciate the help.

Jim, if I order the offset bushings, it comes with both uppers, do I have to
buy 2 sets of bushings or is there a way to get one offset bushing (per
side) and one regular bushing for the upper front?

I also spoke to Steve Ferguson about the urethane bushings, I have a concern
that my lower control arms, and uppers for that matter, could be different
then the GMCs. I took a look under the coach and can't see much of a
difference but it's pretty hard to tell. Anyone know what I should be
looking for?

Since I have no choice but to replace the control arm bushings, I thought
I'd go with the urethane as I do have more slop than I would like. I will
also be replacing some other things as well. Idler arm, sway links and
bushings as well as new bilsteins.
