How to Pick Out Roadmaster Rear Sway Bar for Thor Ace 30.2 Rear Sway Bar

Question

Question:

I purchased the 1139-145 rear sway bar, and my local installer said he cant get it to go due to an angle issue. Is the 1139-146 what I should have bought instead does it address the angle issue?. This is for my 2017 Thor Ace 30.2. Thank you.

In order to determine the correct rear sway bar for your 2017 Thor ACE 30.2 on a Ford F-53 chassis, you will need to take a look at the rear shock mounts. If the rear shock mounts have two holes and are parallel to the ground (see photo) then you will want to use part # RM-1139-145. If the rear shock mounts do not look like this then you are going to want to use part # RM-1139-146. I called my contact at Roadmaster to confirm this. I believe the shock mount difference is what your installer is referring to by angle difference.

I have attached an install video on each sway bar for you as well.
