2016 Ford F-53 Steering stabilizer

I have a 2016 38Q Suncruiser by Winnebago. At first I was told the Roadmaster was not available for this vehicle yet. Have any of you with the new 2016 installed any steering stabilizer?

    +1. This mod is called the "cheap handling fix" and helps reduce drastically side sway. The same mod can be done on the rear sway bar, San best of all both mods are free. Much information about this mod is avail on you tube and other forums. Google is your friend.

  • Yes. I had a Roadmaster steering stabilizer, trac bar, and rear sway bar installed on my 2016 22K Winnebago Sightseer 33C.

    Roadmaster didn't have a sway bar that fit but tbey were abile to modify a Tiffin Ford sway bar to fit my 2016. Because my dealership was about sixty miles fron Roadmaster headquarters they sent a team to measure my 2016 chassis for a sway bar. As far as I know there wasn't a problem installing the steering stabilizer.

    Safe travels. JD
  • Look underneath to see if u have double mounting holes in both the front & rear Sway bars. These are the bars that are bolted to the axles and the coach body to reduce the coach sway left & right. most are installed by the factory using the first(easiest)hole. Rebolt it using the 2nd (tighter) hole. U'll be amazed at the improved handling.
