Wanderlodge Gurus - The Member Funded Wanderlodge Forum - Roadtrip breakdown: Panhard rod bolt missing

We're in Shakope, MN, just outside Minneapolis on a roadtrip from Denver to Lake
Superior to
upstate New York. I had felt slight shimmy in the coach when going over bumps.
mostly
when in 3rd gear. Crawling around underneath it today, I discovered the right
side panhard
rod bolt missing. No idea when it went missing. I've contacted a bus repair
shop(C and J Bus
Repair), which while busy, is going to try to get us in tomorrow for a repair.
Nothing like
adventures when on the road.

help I am just across the river.

Thanks Troy. C and J got me in on Friday and had the repair done in an hour and
half.
Back on the road again, now heading in a much straighter line. That panhard rod
bolt had
been missing for thousands of miles. The handling is MUCH better with the rod
functional.
