| Description of the problem | Extreme amount of sway. Twisty roads have to be under posted speed limit. Freeway travel is affected by wind, semi's and other high profile vehicles. Many times i have been forced off of the road on to the shoulder of the road. Complained to tiffin motors and was told to get a better set of shock absorbers. Complained to lamesa rv san diego and they just left by rig on their lot for a week. Said they could find no fault. Talk to roadmaster (suspension specialists) and they said i should put an auxiliary anti-sway bar 1 3/4" next to the one ford put on. Ford knows they have a problem as mystripped chassis came with front and rear anti-sway bars plus a heavy duty front track bar.(i have the original f550 order) solution: roadmaster auxiliary anti-sway bar. No more sway on my rig. $1109. 00. |
