- Weak rear leaf springs. Easily reworked usually adding an extra leaf. I have had it done twice on 2 different class A's, once on a P30 and once on my current F53 on my 2000 HR Endeavor Gasser.
Cost was around $600 both times. Made a difference on the handling on the F53 (36 ft) but not so much on the P30 (31 ft) chassis. It eliminated the swaying that occurred when hitting dips, low spots and uneven driveway entries at gas stations and etc.... - More likely a weak spring than stabilizer bushings.
- My 2001 motorhome has leaned to the right since day one. No problems, no unusual tire wear, tracks dead-on straight, everything seems just fine. I was told the reason(s) was the kitchen and all that weight are on the passenger side.
I was told that is a common "problem" with the Ford F-53 frame as far as motorhomes go. I put new Bilstiens on it about 5 years ago...no change in the lean.
Fixes: Extra leaf spring. Air bags. As for me, with no problems....I choose to simply leave it alone. BTW...the lean measures about 1.5 inches. Why worry?
Just my opinons...FWIW
