Comparing Roadmaster Front Anti-Sway Bars for a 2005 Winnebago on Workhorse W24 Chassis
Question:
Greetings: I own a 2005 Winnebago Adventurer 38J Class A motorhome with the Workhorse W24 chassis. I am contemplating the installation of front and rear anti-sway bars, and have a few questions: 1. What is the difference between these two front: anti-sway bar products? A. Roadmaster Anti-Sway Bars for the 2005 W-Series by Workhorse: Code: RM-1259-105 and the B. Roadmaster Anti-Sway Bars for the 2005 W-Series by Workhorse Code: RM-1259-106 2. I see that Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar for Motor Homes - 2005 W-Series by Workhorse Code: RM-1259-109 has a 1 3/4 in diameter. For stability purposes, does it matter that the rear anti-sway bar is a larger diameter 1 3/4 than the front anti-sway bar 1 5/8? Thanks!

The only difference between Roadmaster front anti-sway bar # RM-1259-105 and # RM-1259-106 is that the latter, # RM-1259-106, also includes a Roadmaster TruTrac front axle track rod that keeps the front axle in line. It would be more stable than a new anti-sway bar alone. I have included a link to the instructions for both.
As far as the front and rear anti-sway bars being different diameters, it will not be a factor since the front and rear axles are independent of each other. Also the rear of a vehicle would benefit from a larger bar to help with that tail wag sway that can occur. At the front you will be able to help compensate by steering; something that can't be done on the rear wheels.
