lwkhou Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 I took my motorhome out of storage to have the engine and generator serviced. The next day while looking under my motorhome to be sure I did not have any leaks I noticed this yellowish looking, what appears to be a bushing laying on the ground under the engine. I don't know if it came from my motorhome or from my 2003 ford expedition which was parked there while had the motorhome out being serviced. Any suggestions would be most welcome. 2005 Diplomat.

David Pratt Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 I would start inspecting the shock absorber bushings and the suspension bushings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis H Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Does it appear to be a recent break in the part or something that's been there for awhile. It does appear to be a bushing of some sort. Depending on your knowledge of stuff, I'd take it to a suspension shop and have them go over all the suspension on the coach. If that all checks out, I'd suspect the explorer or just some junk left on the ground. If the Explorer breaks down, it's much easier to deal with than the motorhome....Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest pete.miller77 Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 I have seen plastic bushings like that where the rear rv? levelers attach to the frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks next time I am over at the motorhome home I will check them out. The part was lying right under the middle of my engine. But the floor is concrete so it could have bounced from any where.

Steven P Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Did you have a boat there before? Looks like the rollers on the trailer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis H Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Any embossed numbers of either of the parts??? or is that two pictures of the same part?? Question still applies....Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lwkhou Posted August 20, 2020 Author Share Posted August 20, 2020 Two different views of the same part. Not marking, but it is a hard rubber or a soft plastic. No boat trailer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dl_racing427 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Looks a bit like part of a skateboard wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BennieH Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Looks like a urethane material from the photos. I would check all the bushings on the Expedition first, then the motorhome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
