What's on the agenda this month? Replacing the rear leaf springs. You can clearly see the 7cm difference here. The Revcon is sagging on the driver's side.
I know your GMC motorhomes have a great air suspension system, however I have installed a RV-84 Hendrickson tandem in the rear on my 1979 Revcon.
Does anyone know which kind of 4 spring bushes I need for my Hendrickson Tandem?
The team in Babenhausen/Germany has asked me to order them, they are going to replace my rear leaf springs. All 4 bushings should be the same style.
I contacted the European Hendrickson distributor.
The reply was:
"We at Hendrickson are exclusively B2B, not B2C.
If I were to source these parts for you, assuming it's even possible, they would be so expensive that it would certainly be more cost-effective and faster for you to have them manufactured.
I urge you to explore other options."
Well, thanks a lot.
And here's a reference to the catalog:
digital.hendrickson-intl.com
Who could make something like this for me if I can't get the bushings as original parts?
It looks like the bushings were included with Spring Assembly No. 1, Part No. 45739, but they aren't listed separately with a part number (INCLUDES BUSHINGS).
The leaf springs are not the problem, I need the 4 bushings only.
Of course, this service manual is ancient history...
Once again, I'm left high and dry in Europe.
Is there a Hendrickson distributor/specialist in the US which I could ask?
