I noticed excessive swaying begin while driving my 2012 rv. when i got home i looked under the rv and discovered that the lower bolt on the bracket that attaches the sway bar to the rear axle on the drivers side was missing and the bracket was bent. fairway ford in placentia, ca replaced the bracket and bolt under warranty. the www.irv2.com forum under ford chassis has other reports of this same experience. |
