Why Does Rear Sway Bar Replacement of Motorhome Help Ride More than Front Sway Bar

Why would a rear sway bar make more of a difference than a front sway bar

Expert Reply:
The front of motorhomes are pretty standard for the chassis designers. Since most of the weight of the motorhome body will end up on the rear axle it's harder for chassis manufacturers to anticipate how to build the rear sway bars. We've found that by tightening up the rear of the vehicle with an aftermarket sway bar like the # RM-1139-149 the biggest improvement is made. Front bars like the part # RM-1139-148 do help but it's not as drastic of a difference.
