  1. Thanks for replying. Now wondering if I should have the air bags checked before the shocks replaced, because maybe it's not the shocks, the expensive mechanic is the one who said to start with them. The person I bought from said he had the air bags checked or worked on before I bought and I think I have a receipt somewhere for that, but the mechanic who did that is in another state. So is getting the air bags checked the place to start? Is a truck mechanic the best person to check that out or any mechanic can do that? If it's still swaying a lot and it's not the air bags anymore and the back is lifted to proper level, what are next parts to have checked or replaced? The problem with the scary swaying was in open areas when large semis passed us on the highway. Thanks again!
  2. Hi There! Had some really scary sway while on maiden voyage so trying to get her more reliable. Also the back is hanging really low. Took her to a nearby mechanic in NC and presented my thoughts for making more stable gleaned for Toyo forums. They recommended starting with the shocks and new tires. They quoted $500 for the rear shocks and $1000 for the front shocks, $500 for tires. I went to several mechanics before who told me they didn't have the capability to lift her up, so I am limited as to mechanic, though I would look further afield if prices seem way high. I am not able to do it myself, it sounds like a lot of people on here are mechanically able, me not at all. Does this sound reasonable? Should I ask them what kind of shocks and try to get a certain kind, like Bielsens? My Toyo has relatively low mileage and runs well even though I haven't had the time to take here anywhere lately except short rides. The RV part is Ok, but needs a lot of work and I'm not sure if I can afford her if just this part is already so much, so wanted to get some feedback. Thank you!
