    Urgently need 2016 F53 rear sway bar diameter

    Does anyone know the diameter of the stock rear sway bar on the 2016 ford F53 chassy? My RV is out on rental and I need to get some bushings for same day replacement. The Ford ones are a week out but apparently they are standard bushings, all I need is the sway bar diameter.

    sway bars

    For my 2019 fr3 30ds I didn't like the drive, and already knew before purchase, I had to upgrade sway bars. Ordered from etrailer.com Rear is add-on and doesn't replace anything existing. Front is a replacement for existing sway bar, more beefy. Both made great improvement. Driving through...

    Anti-sway bar sanity check

    My wife and I purchase a 2018 30' FR3 last fall. We've taken it out a few times. I noticed that the coach "floats" when we drive and we also get pushed around when other cars come up behind us or pass us. After doing some research and getting feedback on this forum, we are leaning towards...
