I thought I'd share my latest upgrade with you guys. I put this Roadmaster steering stabilizer on myself, and it took about two hours. The hardest part was just getting the u-bolt nuts off because they were rusty. I also had to file down one corner of the mounting plate that goes to the u-bolts because of the clearances. It did not bolt on directly as it came from the factory. Everything else mounted up fine. The first time I took it out for a drive it was pulling to the right due to the spring and where I had it clamped onto the tie rod. Although I thought I had lined up the steering wheel straight it wasn't. You only have to be off by a little bit to make a difference going down the road. I took note of the steering wheel position when driving straight and then set it in that position when I parked the RV. I then loosened up the u-bolts connecting it to the tie rod and let it find its own position, and then retightened them. That did the trick and now it goes down the road nice and straight. I haven't really had a chance yet to drive it in heavy truck traffic or windy conditions but I can feel that the steering feels tighter so that's good.
I also recently did the cheap handling fix AKA free handling fix on the front sway bar. Looking forward to more relaxed driving on future trips.
