Rear Trac Bar over time on F-53

Iam considering rear trac bar for my 38' f-53 rv. My question is, based on how it is mounted to the rear differential, has it caused any damage to it over time? Overall, my ride is not bad, as I have stock sway bars and added a Hellwig to the rear, but esp when towing 4 down, etc, still room for improvement. Maybe add Safe-T-Steer too?

Thanks!!

I installed the super steer rear Trac bar from Henderson, and the 230 Safe-T-Plus on the front. Test drive went well, makes coach feel heavier with less input at steering wheel. Heading out tomorrow for a 12 day, 2 weekend college football trip. Also added EEZRV TPMS for coach and tow car.

My advice is worth exactly what you paid for it.

I purchased a supersteer trac bar. This is what I purchased for my rig. This does not mount to your differential housing.

There are some track bars that do not mount directly to the differential housing. I purchased one that mounts to the sway bar bracket instead. I have only had it on my rig for about 6 months, but have driven up to Branson and back without any problems. Has fixed my oversteering issues. It feels like it tightens up the handling fairly substantially. I did install a front trac bar at the same time.

Thanks for your comments. I have actually seen you on some of the threads Ive been reading. Correction, on my original post, I meant to say I'll prob at the Safe-T-Plus, not Steer. So many names out there hard to keep them straight.
