We do have a number of options for you to help improve the handling of your Bounder.
For a steering stabilizer Roadmaster offers the Roadmaster Reflex Steering Stabilizer with Mounting Brackets # RM-RBK4-RSSA. This kit connects between the steering mechanism and chassis and includes the mounting bracket and stabilizer bar, all required hardware and instructions.
For the rear axle we offer the Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar # RM-1139-145. This bolt-on product mounts between frame and rear axle and helps control axle side play without limiting vertical movement of the suspension. It will help reduce the common tail wag effect. Instructions for this item are also provided.
My contact at Roadmaster tells me that if you wanted to prioritize these options then the steering stabilizer is going to give you the most immediate and noticeable improvement in handling, but of course, that item in combination with the rear axle stabilizer will make a substantial difference in drive-ability in challenging conditions.
