I did the "Cheap Handling Fix"!
I recently did the "Cheap Handling Fix" on my 2013 Winnebago Vista 35F. I am impressed and much happier with the handling so far! Now to get the rig weighed and tire pressure adjusted accordingly! ...

The way this mod works is the swaybar has a second set of holes on it closer to the axel in the new F53 chasis. This location creates less leverage so the swaybar is stiffer. The only problem is that the sway bar links and sway bar itself is no longer at the proper angles so some of the stiffness is still lost.
My only problem with this mod is that the links are no longer set at a 90* angle and the bar is not parallel to the frame. I have no idea why Ford put in the second mounting hole. Is this an option to stiffen up the suspention? If so is there longer links to get the bar back closer to a 90* angle and parallel with the frame? Maybe the sway bar is used on another style chassis and the second hole is required. Unfortunately I don't have the answers to this. Do we have a insider on here from Ford that can tell us more?
I do know that there is a company out there that make the longer links to replace the factory links when doing this mod however I don't recall who it is.
