2018 29 DS -- Cheap Handling Fix
done today. what a huge PIA!
lessons:
install the washers correctly the first time and will save a lot of rear end pain.
take off both bolts. once out, i had to use a jack to raise the sway bar. then realized i had the washers incorrectly installed on one of the bars -- after putting it in and tightening to correct torque. and oh by the way, i used red loctite to secure. finally got it released -- but now the new strain on the sway bar had it too high. had to position the jack to move the sway bar down to align the holes. HUGE pain. on your back, tight spaces. after much struggle and several jack placements, finally got one screw back in (correctly). then on to the other side. sway bar was still to high -- had to again use jack to push the sway bar down to align the holes. all this done in south Florida, 90 degrees and 90 percent humidity. i am getting too old for this.
BUT -- huge difference. immediate difference. i have a rear sway, steering stabilizer, and CHF. have never driven an RV before, but these three make it way "easier" -- but still a learning cure -- to drive.
best of luck all!
