If the struts are them selves causing the banging, there is wafer washer that goes in between strut and bracket pin. You can get them from truckcampersupply.com.

I have the Lance struts. Im not sure what you mean by threading. They do click on the posts they attach to while moving.
A hint I found out the hard way. To avoid the strut metal bonding with the post it sits on I use a coating of Never Sieze. I had to use a torch once to get the strut off. Also the Neversieze dooes quiet things down a bit.

The brackets go on the hood hinges of the truck.And also connect to the camper cabover. The struts or shocks are connected to these to keep the truck camper from bouncing These are a Lance product. Thanks

Ah!

You mean the camper windshield overhanger hydraulic truck hood integrator devices!

Why didn't you just say so ?!

Easy solution: take them off and carefully fling them as far as you can into the nearest large body of water.

Problem solved.

Perhaps dually swing-out brackets on the jacks?

I assume he's talking about the Lance struts. Either the struts are worn out or the truck is porposing a lot.

If your cabover is hinged, you probably need a new camper because it's supposed to be rigidly attached to the camper.

Obviously you mean something different. Care to share?

If it is what I think, have you tried small rubber o-rings?
