I would say the Bilstine stabelizer is worth the cash the shocks would not be. A friend (used to be a friend) had a dual setup on a truck that would death wobble over a hair in the road and it made it drive even better than it did when it was stock and bran new.

homework sign up and do some poking around, lot's of info here because it's chassis specific.
Randy you have plenty of time to get the rig fixed as your probably done for the season, I would do some homework before spending any more money. Most of it depends on how much you're going to drive the motorhome. If your going back and forth to the lake once a month put the cheap stuff in but if you plan to drive it any sort of distance the extra cost for Bilsteins or Konis is worth it. |

when you drive it down the road stop every mile or two and use a spray bottle with water in it you can hit the rotors with a light spray then reach you head around to the calipers and see what parts get the hottest. saves some dirty hands and hot fingers reaction

Yes on the steering damper, bigger the better.
And of course any loose steering component or kingpin is suspect Next do a rough check of the toe-in with a tape measure. If it persists, I think inadequate Caster is suspect, since this sounds like death wobble. A little 1-3 degree shim between the leaf spring and axle might be all it needs to get back in spec, but check with an alignment specialist about that |
