Recommendations for shocks please
I'm looking to replace the rear shocks on my 1976 Glendale G30 motor home. It's one of those 50/50 (wheelbase to cabin length ratio) with dual rear wheels. Similar to many C class motor homes made up...

We have a 32' C on a Chevy 4500 chassis. I replaced all four shocks with Bilstien about 15k miles ago. They did make a difference in overall ride and handling. Ours also has front and rear sway bars and front Sumos. Between them all, sway seems to be very minimal. If your shocks are worn, replacements will make a difference in handling. Although, shocks are not specifically designed to eliminate sway, good shocks will certainly help.
One thought is to contact salvage or recycle center for a set of sway bars from a one ton chassis.

Thanks very much for the advice. I think I'll also try to find a sway bar in a salvage yard as you suggested. Do you by chance know of any salvage yards in the U.S. that would be a good place to start?
Just a suggestion. Before you start ADDING NEW suspension components to your 40 year old vehicle, look at ALL THE EXISTING suspension components (bushings, shocks, mounts, etc.) to make sure they are in serviceable condition. You might be surprised what happens if/when they are freshened up, . . . a little.
