Suspension bushings

Question

So I recently got a 1999 holiday rambler 40' diesel pusher to pull my race car trailer with. I noticed the first couple times I started towing with it, it seemed like it was a little unstable. I crawled up under it and found the rear panhard bar bushing on one side completely gone. When I say completely ..... I mean nothing inside of the arms eyelet and you could see wear marks on the bracket where it is moving around.
Any place that sell replacement bushings... Maybe a kit to replace the trailering arm bushings as well. If like to get something stronger then stock maybe because I'm using it to tow with.

Thank for your help

I was able to find rubber bushings at NAPA. They had an assortment of bushings and styles. Telling them you need a particular bushing for that year model is out of the question. Just be creative as you may have to customize your find as I did on my Winnebago rear sway bar. I replaced mine and not had any trouble in the last 3 years. It took a little vasoline to get them (4) in place... WELL WORTH IT&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;****

I believe you have the Monaco RR8R chassis.  If so, your motorhome bushings are deteriorating (crumbling away), the originals are a three piece design.  You can get a new design bushing from Monaco RV, LLC in Coburg, OR.  I believe the phone number is 877-466-6226.  The new design bushings are a 1 piece design and much improved.  The panhard bar and the trailing arms all take the same bushing, P/N 01803668, Bushing suspension cartridge REV A.  They are about $17.00 each, you'll need 10 to do the complete rear suspension.  The front suspension is the same as the rear.  I have not needed to replace the front suspension bushings on my signature rig as yet.
