Question

Did the front bar on MH, moved the struts back to second holes on the bar.  Not sure on the rear as I had to force the struts back toward the rear, it is under tension now not like before . Is this right.  I,m think ing of test driving with just the front done and again when and if I do the rear.

I assume you are talking about the f53 ford chasis to reduce sway? Did mine on previous coach and don't remember having to force anything but I did use my jacks to level it taking pressure off the suspension.  Also I found replacing the rubber bushings with polyurethane made a huge difference. I used the black so they didn't squeek like the red.

That's normal if you did not loosen the top bolts on the links, the rubber bushings are a tight fit. Nothing to worry about.

If they make them for your chassis, buy Sumo Springs and forget everything else.  It really makes that much difference.
