Sway Bar and Stabilizer Recommendation for a 2004 Monaco Monarch to Prevent Wander and Sway
Question:
I have a 2004 31foot monaco monarch motor home. I seem to get a lot of body roll/ sway around corners, and it wanders some driving down the road. It has new tires, alignment, and steer safe, but i feel like i a have to make constant minor steering adjustments even at low speeds. Tiring to drive. The shocks look like they have been replaced, but i dont know when. I recently purchased this unit. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks,

The front sway bar you bought for your 2004 Ford F-53 is a great place to start to improve the handling and sway of your 2004 31 foot Monaco Monarch. But if your shocks are bad it won't compensate for that.
Typically the best way to combat an RV that wants to wander as you are driving is a steering stabilizer like the part # RM-RBK4-RSSA which is a confirmed fit.
For body roll and sway a rear sway bar will make the most difference. Roadmaster recommends this as the first line of defense on sway/body roll as it makes the biggest difference. For that you would want the # RM-1139-143.
