I finally got my simulators. Installed the front but have to do some adjusting on the rears to accommodate the valve stems. Looking for brass valve stems to replace the existing valve stem extenders. Haven't found the curved ones yet for the outer duel.
Rebalanced wheels and new shocks, Monroe--couldn't get Bilsteins for the rear, but in any event the combination corrected the wheel vibration. Drove it 400 miles to and from the FSU-Miami football game and it drives great.
Up date on the whistling problem. Finally have isolated it to the top of the forward awning support arm. I have taped off the top 6 inches of that arm, on the inside facing the coach wall, covering the gaps that exist between the outer arm and the inner arm. Don't know how much more I can reduce the tape or if just one of the spaces between the inner arm and the outer arm is causing the whistle. But I am working on it. The fiberglass front cap must produce a flow that curves over and down along the side to create a good smooth flow past the upper end of that arm.
