      Hi there,

      Wanted to check on something with you guys. I have got a 2010 Savanna, and recently I noticed unusual for it vibration in the rear end, as well as vertical movement (no side movement was noticed, though). First what I thought was unbalanced wheel, as the feel was quite similar to it. However I did balancing, and now am sure that everything’s fine with the wheels. Will have to lift it to check on the condition of spring bushings.

      Wanted to ask you guys, when your spring bushings went bad, what were the symptoms?

      A quick update on my suspension. Took my Savanna to the shop yesterday, and the problem is really in the spring bushings. Have already ordered the replacements, as the one that broke first made the frame unstable and apparently damaged the second one… So will have to put on both.

      I believe this is a pretty common problem with the older Savanna model.
