If you're having sway/stability issues with your 2021 Thor Freedom Elite 22HE built on a Ford E-Series Cutaway Chassis then the best thing you can do is add a heavier duty rear-anti sway bar, the Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar part # RM-1139-117 which retains the factory rear anti-sway bar. If you want to take this one step further I recommend the SumoSprings Custom Helper Springs part # SSR-106-54-1 for rear and part # SSF-106-47 for the front. The combination of these components will make a big difference in your stability, control, and ride quality.

We do not offer any full replacement anti-sway bars for this chassis.
