I’m guessing this has been asked before but can’t seem to locate it. My apologies if this has been asked/answered a gazillion times. I’d like to find a Magnum chassis parts diagram, in whole or part. The current need is for a front stabilizer arm or bushings. I’m not sure if that’s the correct name, the rod that runs between the sides of the chassis, just behind the steering crossmember. Recently the bracket that holds this arm on passengers side broke off while on a trip. It looked like it had been repaired before and by someone who didn’t really know how to weld! Locating parts on a Saturday afternoon wasn’t going to happen so settled for welding the bracket back on and dealing with the poor handling till we get home.
Which brings me to my question. How does one find part numbers for all of these chassis components? If it was a Freightliner I could at least find a part number and start sourcing the part. The front bushing on this arm are bad and according to the tech, all the suspension bushings in front are worn out. Even before this happened the ride is harsh and steering loose. I had it in for a front end alignment which helped some but now feels worse than ever. I’m new to the RV thing and Beavers in particular.
So, any keywords to search for, links to threads, or an actual part’s diagram and/or source would be extremely appreciated. I’ve read how you all really value the ride and durability of these rigs which is why we jumped on it, but after this my bride is starting to question my judgment. Thanks! Pete
