Body mount replacement

Post by darrellh »

We currently are reviewing replacement of body mounts as they are in bad shape
Has anyone done this ?…on 26rsb ….seems like it should be accomplishable ….suspension shop concerned they would have to remove interior parts ( nonstarter for us )
Thanks

My opinion is that replacing the body mounts would be a difficult undertaking. The fiberglass coach body would need to be lifted to accomplish this work. That means that the cab over part of the body would also have to be separated from the top of the chassis cab. My opinion is that replacing the body mounts would be a difficult undertaking.

I would recommend calling Kuhn Truck and RV in Sherwood, Ohio and get their opinion on this work. Service department phone 419-899-2020
