What causes your mtorhome to begin shaking violently when you hit a bump in the road?

Answer 1

You're very close to wrecking your motorhome. Although you did not say what chassis you have? You have a symptom that means repair is a must. 1. One of your suspension control arms is near failure due to wear. This is a fatigue crack. Near one of the bushings. Replacement is only choice. Welding and reinforcment could be done. But, may still break again. 2. One of the steering control tie rods or other steering component is going out. Replacement needed 3. If, you've strut bars off the lower A-frames to the front of farme? The end bushing could easily be punched right thru frame hole. Stress causes this. That can be repaired with welding and new bushings. It'll hold after that. I've only seen this a few times. One was an old farm truck that would barely stay straight. (steering). One other was a Cadillac that was losing it's lower A frame due to a crack. The truck needed no help, like a bump, to shake and squirel all over. The others? Any unsteady road would provoke severe shaking and near loss of control. Letting off gas and a single tap of brakes usually brings things back from the edge of disaster. Any of these you find? Get fixed at once. The safety of yourself and others are VERY much at risk.
