Just replaced front shocks with monroes rear ranchero 9000xl. What brought me there was when I pulled my camper to myrtle beach the bounce was horrible, while bouncing the drivers side was slamming like I only had steel rods there. So long short changed shocks rides better but still has the drivers slam when it ups and downs just right. Suspension is old but feels tight. Thought I would see marks where it was hitting but no such luck. Ideas ???

Take a look at the cab mounts- where the cab connects to the frame.

Another part could be the track bar end on the frame- did you check that?

no I haven't but I did notice my bump stop on my passenger side is gone. Going to replace both sides. Will check cab and track bar end. Will let you know thanks

OK, those bump stops need to be there, though the missing one on the right should not cause the problems.

Another thing to check is if you have a broken spring.
The coil springs in the front can break just short of the ends and make it very hard to see.
The leaf springs can have a leaf cracked and that can cause some funny behaviour, and some "bumps" or "hits" can be transferred really good through the frame and you feel them in places that confuse you.

Sorry it took me so long to reply. You hit it on the head there AlpineRAM it was a broke spring. Thought I had liked pretty good at it,but when me and the wife took it to town we stopped at the mex rest and the way I park had the wheel turned driver side I went to show her the bump stop I was talking about and there it was angled weird and the tip broke. Good job dude. Now I can pull my camper to fl without worry. Thanks

you found it

I hope you got a pair of new ones.
