Today on this 2006 Freightliner motor home based off the Sprinter van chasse 3500 were going to install part number R-1209-118. Basically what this is is a sway bar replacement for the stock sway bar. Were going to start off by lifting our vehicle up so we can get better access to the sway bar. Next were going to go ahead and remove the original sway bar. Well undo the bolts on the vey ends first. Then well go ahead and loosen up and remove the bolts that go to the axle.
