As some of you know, I recently purchased a 2009 Sightseer 35J on a 228" 2008 Ford F53 chassis. I drove about three hours in high winds last weekend and was pretty uncomfortable with the amount of steering correction required to keep the rig between the lines. So far this rig has been great to drive, and this behavior only shows up in high winds or getting passed by trucks. I have adjusted tire pressure to the correct recommendations based on axle weight, and I had an alignment done at my first oil change. Based on the discussions here and on other boards, I just ordered a rear trac bar to try and calm some of the "wag" steer while on the highway. The unit I purchased is the UltraTrac from Brazels Performance Center based on good performance reviews and customer service experiences of other owners. Mike Brozini, the customer service rep has also been very supporting and helpful during the process.
Anyway, I am rambling. I was wondering if anyone had performed this installation themselves and had any issues or advice to render before I start busting knuckles. Your shared experience would be greatly appreciated. Some background...I am an engineer by training, own a good torque-wrench, have experience working on simple car maintenance/repairs (oil, filters, brakes, plugs, shocks, etc), but have not worked on a heavy vehicle chassis before.
Thanks in advance.
