THOR #10368
Clanking popping sound from front driver side

Hello RV peeps,
I have a 2015 Thor A.C.E. 30.2 bunkhouse. On our way home from a long trip a noise sounding like a “popping” and or “clank” which sounded like it was coming from driver side wheel well. Seems to get worse when turning, and weight of the coach leans to the driver side. Just got it back from mechanic who said he checked shocks, struts, and wheel bearings with nothing looking damaged. After a month in the shop and $1200 bucks later, it’s still not much better. If anyone has any ideas Or similar experience would love to hear about it. Much appreciated
Branden

Not sure which chassis you have - but you did not mention whether stabilizer links were checked. That's what I would look for first based on your description of the problem. Basically same problem I had on different vehicle. Hope you find the problem soon.

Thanks. I have a Ford chassis and mechanic did find rear stabilizer was completely broken. After replacement, the problem did improve a lot. I hear that Ford now has a 2” front stabilizer on newer models so I’m thinking I will upgrade and see if it make a difference. Was looking for options to help with wind a semi’s anyway. Thanks for your input, much appreciated!
