After having a good secondhand suspension subframe fitted to the motorhome last month, I finally got around to fitting the anti roll bar that I got with the subframe. A fiddly job, you have to disconnect the track rod end in the drivers side, remove the steering rack bolts ( the steering rack hydraulic pipes get in the way when you’re trying to fit it through) and remove the right hand side anti roll bar mount. When the roll bar is in place but not bolted down, fit the drop links to the bar ends and drop them into the arms before tightening the roll bar down. Refit the steering rack, torque all the bolts up, wheels back on and you’re done.
A big difference on the road, she doesn’t lean half as much on tight bends and roundabouts, and generally feels a lot firmer when driving, a big plus for a 3.5 ton motorhome. I can’t see why the motorhome manufacturer Swift never specified the roll bar as a standard fitting, but we’ll worth it 😊👌🏻
And a big saving on a new one, new drop links were only £11 the pair.
