good morning all
i sincerely do appreciate all the comments, what i dont understand is the following and im being totally open minded about it in reference to the ford f53 chassis handling issues some have experienced
1 - why does it happen on many class a motorhomes and not on others
2- why is when just the ADDITION of a rear track bar end all handling issues that were once there as i have experienced and countless others?and with no other change being made what so ever , and driving at the same speed , and higher and on the same exact roadways and in the same type of weather conditions and with no change to tire pressure and or alignment ??
this is my question , some have stated that its the fault of winnebago , how , they made the coach , not the chassis , the added rear track bar is added to the chassis , at least as of this week it is , somebody had stated that why didnt Winnebago moved the obd 2 connection port as recommended by ford , well to be honest , its not a big deal to me, and its surely not a safety issue , more of a convivence issue , as a bmw tech , i have done more in my day than most, replacing complete body harneses in a 7 series , rebuilding and setting up suspensions after a crash , and never had an issue, my problem is i do think out of the box, and at times , things must be questioned, at least when it comes to safety, yours and mine
thank you again

Per #1 - It happens on some and not others because Ford builds the chassis for many uses. (we've all said this over and over) Every motorhome manufacturer buys them and builds dozens of different floorplans and configurations. Some have full wall slides, some have multiple slides, some are 27 feet some are 37 feet, etc etc. So, all the houses on those chassis are different, loaded different and built different. What happens when you take one chassis and build a bunch of different houses on them? None of them will handle the same. Is this Ford's fault? No. How in the world can they be responsible for the hundreds of configurations that dozens of different manufactures build on them? Would you put the onus on a stud manufacturer because builders put them in sideways and a wall won't stand up?

#2, trac bars won't solve all handling issues so this is not a one size fits all. Just so happened it addressed your issue. Most have success with proper alignment and psi adjustments. The F53 doesn't need trac bars in a lot of cases. My 2 previous gas MH's never had them.

This will be my last post on this. Seems you are willing to die on this hill despite every post trying desperately to educate you on this subject. You aren't looking at it open mindedly. If you were you'd have gotten it by now. If you don't get, you don't get it. And you keep reminding us of all your accomplishments at BMW. We are talking about Ford chassis MH's - so you might as well compare oranges to basketballs.
