    A little help from KC just for the record....

    I just went over to RV Service reviews and found two )2) postings. The last was 2009. Don't recall any postings positive or negative on CCO (Country Coach Owners) over the years.

    ABC has had my coach since Monday, for the first time I was able to get under it , They have pits in there stalls,
    I had 16 bushings missing, and bad upper and lower ball Joints, Yet the Bus drove perfect?
    I knew the front bushings were totally gone But I didnt know they had the same ones in the back, and there two sided bushings so it takes two for one bushing
    I also had the engine and gen, seviced and fully greased and ran a new Aqua hpt muffler which I accidently smashed they have been doing very good work I stayed there for 4 days then came home it will be done next monday,
    the problem was getting parts from canada every thing had to be over nighted or it would have been done already,
    I will post with my final report,
    The leveling system works off the sway bar also so it should make a big difference !!!

    At our Rally in Austin, the Prevost Seminar. We were told that the bushings may look bad but they are probably ok. A mechanic needs to use a crow bar and test each of the
    sway bars to see if the bushing is bad. The bushings will look frayed around the edges but that doesnt mean anything. Most non Prevost mechanics won't know this.
