Re: bent shock mounts Reply #40 – March 22, 2023, 10:46:14 am Broken shock mounts is not limited to the older coaches compared to mine. I did a thread with pictures on the front broken upper mounts on my 2014 IH. Mine was a somewhat easy fix, had to buy two new upper shock plates and bolt them on. The new plates were better braced then the original ones. Quote Selected

I can assure you that I have never subjected it to that kind of abuse. I'm glad that my shock mounts bent instead of breaking. Well im confident that mine has become airborne, im not saying flying quietly threw the air, but I have hit potholes and road imperfections at speed causing the shocks to do there job by slowing the fall rate (rebound) then arresting the compression once on the other side. Certainly not intentional but happening all the time unless your coach is parked. Straightening your mounts is half the job. Prevention will require double shearing your attach points or weaker shocks lowering stress. Next you'll be tearing off shock ends, but the mounts wont fail. Double sheared mounts are the current automotive industry standard. (pesky day job) They really do get in the way. Another year and a half for me. Quote Selected
