No offense taken. That's useful information before I crawl under there and invent some new swear words. Think I'll let a professional do it.

Thanks.

Just want to give everyone a followup on how things went after I did the cheap handling fix. I took a 400 mile trip with the FR3 last week, the difference in driving the coach is dramatic, tracks much better , side to side wobble is virtually eliminated and no noticeable difference in ride comfort. Try it you'll like it.

Sorry. Fat fingers. From white knuckle to one handed steering. Highly recommend the CHF.

I did the CHF on my 25DS and it is a huge improvement. (front sway bar only). I will be doing the rear next.

No more top sway side to side and when large vehicles pass or i passed them almost no effort was needed to keep it on track. Much better this 500+ mile round trip. Was a little bit of effort to do the front but not too bad...just had to use the longer ratchets and a second jack to get it lined up. Total time was probably close to an hour but i had other things going on during this.

Highly recommend it. And best of all i could find nothing negative about the handling....only improvement.

Probably pretty close.

All kidding aside, he torque spec is 68 ft/lbs I think, and my educated guess is that these were torqued to well over 250ft lbs. It took a breaker bar and a cheater bar to get mine off.
