Roadmaster Reflex Steering Stabilizer with Mounting Brackets for Class C Motor Homes - Ford Van, 1997

The sturdy steel spring on this stabilizer keeps your Ford Van in line by constantly working to maintain its position. Mount it between the steering mechanism and the chassis for a tight connection that will minimize wander and correct oversteering.

Features:

  • Compensates for oversteering and returns your Ford Van to center
    • Tempered steel spring works to return to its normal state - when compressed, spring pushes back into neutral position; when extended, it pulls back
  • Attaches to the steering mechanism on one end and to the chassis undercarriage on the other
    • Tight connection between these components keeps steering firm and controlled
  • Helps you to maintain control of your Ford Van in the event of crosswinds, rut tracking, road edging or a tire blowout
  • Reduces road fatigue - stabilizer keeps you centered so that you don't have to work as hard to steer
  • Installs in approximately 1 hour with no drilling or welding
  • Includes stabilizer, custom mounting brackets, hardware and installation instructions
  • Made in USA
  • Limited 1-year warranty


A variety of things can make your Ford Van veer - crosswinds, uneven pavement, tire blowout. The key to a pleasant, and safe, driving experience is learning how to deal with these situations. Roadmaster's Reflex Steering Stabilizer works to return your Ford Van to center when something happens that causes it to swerve or jolt. As a result, you won't have to oversteer in an attempt to stay in line, thus minimizing road fatigue.

The stabilizer attaches to your Ford Van's tie rod on one end and to the frame on the other. A heavy-duty steel spring runs the length of the rod, constantly working to keep steering controlled. If you steer your Ford Van one way and it gets pulled the opposite way, the spring will stretch momentarily and then quickly pull back to its normal state. If you oversteer your Ford Van in the same direction it is already moving, the spring will compress for a moment but then push back out to its prior state. No matter how you steer or how the frame is pushed or pulled, your Ford Van will always return to center.

Etrailer did Excellent job, the ordering process was very efficient. The process time was fast. They shipped my order early; and I got the product in 4 days, not hassle. They kept me well informed form beginning to end and I will order form them again, when I have the need. This may be heavy duty front and rear sway bars. As for the stabilizer arm, I have yet to do a road trip with it installed. I got it to try and limit wind slip on the highway, in by Winnebago Aspect, on a Ford E450 frame. I do know it was the more cost effective solution as the next best option, a fully intergraded, hydraulic, computer control, steering stabilizer, which costs well over $1,000 and requires specialized installation. 50842

Product works great, install was easy. (Except photo on instructions is reversed.) Had to go to road master site to see correct photo for application. Also you DO NOT use original u bolts over again on Ford application.24610

This was put on a 2011 32' Class C Motor Home with a Ford E450 Chassis. With the stock factory stabilizer, the vehicle was just white knuckle drivable while towing a 4000 SUV, especially when passing a truck or in the cross winds of the mountains. I had an older Blue OX stabilizer on a 1999 E450 26' Class C and it worked well. Since they now only make the $900 TrueCenter (which I wasn't spending), I tried this. It worked fairly well and installation was easy. I was a bit concerned how close the bracket comes to the connectors on the steering linkage, but it seemed to work. I also didn't like the that instructions showed generic pictures for placement so I am not sure if it is optimally seated considering that the unit can be adjusted greatly in many directions. Still, the unit work well and held up to most of the cross winds going from MI to NM. The quality is good and it is USA made. But I do believe the could lower the price much more, especially on the brackets which are 1/3 the price are just 2 L plates, 4 bolts and 2 Ubolts. But after searching, this is the fault of RoadMaster, not etrailer.com. etrailer was the only one to offer a package on both the unit and the brackets and the best price. The delivery was also very fast.22437
