Rear Suspension Bar Bracket
Heads up for anyone who has not checked this. I was preparing for my departure last week to Mt. Rushmore and looked under my coach and found a bracket hanging down. Crawled under and the bracket was the rear sway bar support bracket. There are two, one on each side just in front of bottom shock bolt. The brackets are horse-collar design with bolt in top and bottom. My bracket (drivers side) the top bolt had vibrated out and was long gone, but in process had bent bracket. My local ford dealer did not have the bolts in stock (12mm x1.75) I went to NAPA and bought one. it was 1/2 too long and had to be cut. The mechanic who did the work checked the passenger side and found both bolts loose also. My coach is 2011 360 and had 7k miles, do no how long the bolt had been missing. I have noticed one thing though, since repair, when camped now I do not hear the popping sound that I used to hear when moving in coach with jacks down. Plus side, am setting in Black Hills of SD, 1700 miles later and everything is fine, no other issues. Safe travels to all. Dan.
