WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY I NOTICED A SUDDEN AND DISTINCT DETERIORATION IN HANDLING, SO SEVERE THAT IN CROSSWINDS OR WHEN BEING PASSED BY A SEMI-TRAILER IT WAS DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN CONTROL AND STAY IN MY LANE OR ON THE ROAD. WHEN I INSPECTED THE VEHICLE I FOUND THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR ANTI-SWAY BAR BUSHING BRACKET, MOUNTING BOLTS, AND NUTS WERE ALL MISSING, EFFECTIVELY DISCONNECTING THE REAR ANTI-SWAY BAR AND CAUSING DANGEROUS BODY ROLL. IN TRYING TO DETERMINE HOW THIS OCCURRED I FOUND A THREAD ON THE WWW.IRV2.COM FORUM INDICATING THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH ALL YEAR MODELS OF THE FORD F53 MOTORHOME CHASSIS.

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your
pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the
