2006 Motorhome On F53 Chassis

Recommended Posts

post-13201-1273700143_thumb.jpgI have a 2007 Georgetown 319SE on a 2006 Ford F53 chassis (Triton V10). Parked over the winter and when I took it out this spring there was a loud creaking noise coming from the rear when we hit a bump or on a rougher road. After a little checking it seems to be coming from the rear springs or possibly the shocks. Have read about problems with the tip liners on the leaf springs in 2002 and 2003 models but not the later models. Any ideas? There is only 3,100 miles on the unit.

I would suggest checking the u-bolts to make sure they are tight. Loose u-bolts can make these types of sounds and will eventually lead to broken leafs in your springs. Is it equipped with a rear anti-sway bar? Bushings in anti-sway bars and shocks can also make these types of sounds. It could be something as simple as a loose shock bolt. I have had all of these issues contribute to noises and broken leaf springs.
