Will A Steering Stabilizer Or Anti-Sway Bar Help Correct Play In The Steering Wheel Of A Motorhome

Question:

I have a 2014 Fleetwood Excursion RV that has a lot of play in the steering wheel. Would you suggest an anti sway bar or steering stabilizer to help with that issue? If so do you have a product that fits my RV.

If you're having lots of play in the steering wheel then a steering stabilizer would be the correct choice over an anti-sway bar, which would be more useful for correcting body sway of the motorhome. For your 2014 Fleetwood Excursion I recommend the Roadmaster Reflex Steering Stabilizer with Mounting Brackets for Class A Motor Homes # RM-RBK18-RSSA. This is going to attach to the tie-rod and help stiffen up the movement for less play.

You can still replace the factory front anti-sway bar with the Roadmaster Front Anti-Sway Bar # RM-1209-136 to help increase your motorhome's stability, but I would measure the diameter of your sway bar prior to purchase to ensure that the Roadmaster bar isn't the same size. The # RM-1209-136 is 1-3/4" in diameter, if yours is smaller in diameter than this would be a helpful upgrade.
