Thanks for that info and we do have the exact anti-sway bars for your 2016 Thor Ace 30.1 motorhome on the Ford F-53 chassis. The correct rear anti-sway bar for your motorhome is the following:

- Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar # RM-1139-146

This anti-sway bar is going to do a fantastic job of improving stability, reducing sway, and ensuring you have better overall handling of your motorhome because they are better constructed with higher-strength, thicker steel with much higher roll stiffness than OEM sway bars for a vastly improved ride.

Then for the the front anti-sway bar and steering stabilizer, the correct parts for your 2016 Thor Ace 30.1 are the following:

- Roadmaster Front Anti-Sway Bar # RM-1139-148
- Roadmaster Exact Center Steering Stabilizer # RM33RR
