The sturdy steel spring on this stabilizer keeps your vehicle 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:
A variety of things can make your vehicle 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 vehicle 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 vehicle'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 vehicle 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 vehicle 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 vehicle will always return to center.

The sturdy steel spring on this stabilizer keeps your vehicle 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.I did the drive to find center on steering wheel which made installation easier. Removing existing steering stabilizer and brackets and installing the new wasn’t difficult at all with just basic tools. Read instructions and watch video at etrailer site. The reflex steering stabilizer is worth the money but should be the last modification done in my opinion. The first thing to install to help the swaying, leaning or just being pushed around by the semi trucks is #1 Roadmaster rear anti-sway bar if the manufacturer left the original small one on. #2 Roadmaster front anti-sway bar. Then #3 Roadmaster Reflex steering stabilizer. I say Roadmaster because the bushings and linkage for all of these are very heavy duty compared to the others that I compared. After doing all three of these upgrades to my 2022 E-450 33 foot class C the driving has gone from seriously gripping the steering wheel to driving relaxed with one hand in high wind or the passing of big rigs and ruff dipping road surfaces. I did this upgrades one at a time in the order I’ve indicated so I actually got to feel how each item help to control my motorhome. I am very pleased with all. Thanks etrailer for the excellent service.
Quality built steering stabilzer. Well packaged and arrived within my expected time frame.
Wow what a difference, installed the road master front anti sway bar and steering stabilizer, what a difference no more white knuckle driving, very easy to install.
Installed on an Entegra Odyssey Class C RV that sits on a Ford E-450. Installed after Roadmaster Front and Rear Sway Bars with the hope of receiving more positive steering feel as opposed to the sloppy factory steering. Install was very easy using hand tools and accomplished in about an hour. I noted an improvement in the steering with a more solid feel to steering inputs. Helped with driving Interstates with less wander and a more solid free to steering. Rather than dramatic, I would rate these improvements as more subtle but a definite improvement.
Part was easy to install. The video shows the worker using a rachet to install all the nuts and bolts on the same model c class motorhome. I could not get my 3/8 rachet on any of the nuts and bolts. I ended up using a wrench. No problems after the install. Camper goes straight down the road. I will be checking out how it handles on the road with trucks and the wind soon.
Installing the steering stabilizer really made a difference. You have to be careful to have your front wheels as straight as possible. I had to make an adjustment after install as it made my motorhome pull to the right. The Ford dealer quickly made the adjustment and it really tracks straight down the highway now. It tightened up my steering as well - I'm very pleased with this product.
Works great on my 1989 E350 Holiday Rambler Imperial class-C motorhome. Holes had to be drilled in the frame or else the angle would be too extreme and would likely bend the tie rod. I would probably like a little more tension on the steering wheel than it currently has but perhaps that can be adjusted? Just drove a few hundred miles through LA traffic in CA and it definitely helped reduce some stress.
What a difference this made. I was on the fence about this for quite a while because of the investment needed. Now that’s it’s on my 2018 Coachman Freelander 28QB sitting on a Ford E450 my only advice is don’t wait any longer, put this on as soon as possible! It took all of that steering wheel shake out. No need to hang on with a death grip anymore. The stabilizer is very easy to put on, it took me about 1 ½ hours to complete including taking the old one off. Just follow the great video and printed instructions from etrailer and you will have no problems at all.
Installed the roadmaster stabilizer on my 2017 F450 Fleetwood Jamboree and just got back from the test drive. Got the positioning just right on the first try. This with my sumo springs have completely transformed my ride.
Excellent.

Excellent product. Driving has been greatly improved!
Steering feels slightlymore solid than without it but thought it would bring the steering back to center which it does not. Also did expect it to have more impact when being passed by large trucks. Not sure if I would recommend it.
installed steering stabilizer along with a set of timbren blocks, what an amazing difference. easy directions andinstallation. delivered 1 day earlier than date posted. thank you!

tremendous upgrade from factory steering dampener, highly recommend ed for class c rv. no more white knuckle driving. Thanks for the great products from etrailer!
We had this installed by Camping World on our 2019 Thor 26HE. It was a handful on the interstate when a semi passed.
Now there is just a small push-pull when they pass with the steering stabilizer.
I recommend this to everyone who buys a C Class RV.

Fantastic our Thor 26HE still handles like a dream on the interstates.
Buy this Steering Stabilizer! What a huge difference in the handling of my 2006 Ford E450 26.5 Lazy Daze Class C motorhome. Approximate miles driven, 5,000 with it installed this past year. No more white knuckles with driving. The improvement is so great I have put off upgrading the stock Sway-bars. You get what you pay for when it comes to the Roadmaster Reflex Steering Stabilizer. Without a doubt well worth the money!
This was part 3 of the driving/ride improvements for our 2019 Coachmen Leprechaun 319MB. etrailer verified all parts prior to me purchasing to ensure I got the correct stuff. Shipping was quick and everyone was very helpful.
All parts were in both boxes. I watched several videos prior to actually doing the installation and re-read the included instructions twice before doing the work. Included directions need to be a little clearer but with a little looking, reading and thinking I got to the right answer.
Removal of the OEM steering damper was straight forward.
Beginning installation of the new equipment was fairly easy but things got complicated when it came time to torque the ubolts and then tighten the spring. Four hands may have made it easier but not by much. Overall, it took me 1.5 hours.
Documentation could be better in describing how to torque the u-bolts and a lot better on the spring tightening section when it described "don't let the shaft turn".
After a struggle and some tinkering, I figured out how to torque the u-bolts and get the springs tightened.
Test drive was right on, centered on the road. Make sure you do the steering wheel alignment marks before you start.
Driving down the road you can feel the spring resistance to turns and its desire to bring the steering wheel back to center. I had to run over several pot holes on the ride back from NC, even when the steering wheel jumped, the stabilizer brought it back to center. Two large semis passed me going opposite directions. You could feel the lateral push, but the stabilizer made it much easier to stay in the lane without a lot of steering wheel movement. one handed driving is a lot easier now.
Good product, installation is fairly easy, but better documentation will make it a lot easier.
I had to use deep well sockets, regular sockets and ratcheting closed end combination wrenches to get the work done.
I give it a 4 for documentation and a 5 for doing what I bought it for.
If you are on the fence about installing a steering stabilizer just do it and be rid of the dangerously exhaustive driving and start enjoying your Motorhome.
I am, by nature, a very skeptical person. However, the 2018 Thor Freedom Elite 26HE I own was a dangerous thing to drive. I already installed Air bags and a heavy duty rear sway bar; the Motorhome was no longer dangerous to drive but will work you to exhaustion fighting the wind and passing trucks. I researched and inquired about how to fix this and was told to install a steering stabilizer. After installing the Roadmaster Reflex Stabilizer I took my Motorhome for a drive expecting to be disappointed and more financially broke for chasing ghost; WOW was I wrong! I didn’t just notice a minor improvement but an improvement so major that I had to share this information with everyone I know and anyone I come in contact with that has the same problem.
Just had the Roadmaster Reflex Steering Stabilizer installed on my 2007 Coachman Freelander Class C motorhome (28 feet) with Ford E-450 chassis. On my first test drive what an immediate and noticeable difference! Met several semis and the improvement was evident. The motorhome is much easier to handle. I look forward to upcoming road trips. Service from etrailer was EXCELLENT!
I recently purchased a 2011 Itasca Cambria 28 with only 10,500 miles. Our first trip made it clear that I needed to stiffen the chassis. Unfortunately Roadmaster Anti-sway bars are backordered, and though you should put those on first, I just installed the Reflex Steering Stabilizer. Easy installation though you need to be careful about seating the bushings. The videos are much better than the printed instructions. Already see a big difference in how much tighter the steering is. Can't wait for the bars to arrive. Disappointed to have to wait 4 weeks.
Fast Shipping, product as described!
The only issue is that it's not exactly the part # that fits my vehicle. This one (RBK24) is for the models that already have a factory installed steering stabilizer. The model for models with no steering stabilizer is the (RBK2). The RBK24 technically fits my vehicle, but there is no nut welded inside the frame. There are holes, but not big enough for the bolts (and not threaded).
I will probably try to insert carriage bolt inside the frame to use this part. I much prefer this one, which is bolted to the frame, whereas the RBK2 is U-bolted to the i-beam axle... Not ideal in my opinion.
I would simply suggest that the description of this product and the RBK2 cleary say that one is for models with factory installed steering stabilizer and the other one is for models with no factory installed SS. The vehicle fit tool indicates that both parts fit my vehicle (2009 Ford Van). Mine is a E-350 SuperDuty Class C V8 with single rear wheel.
All item have been delivered and now installed on the R V. Steering and driving is “GREAT”.
Thanks E-trailer.

Okay, sometimes packages are delivered to your neighbors' addresses. Have you been able to ask your neighbors if they have received the package in your place? I have sent your information over to customer service for them to look into this more in depth for you.
Well, i received my roadmaster reflex steering stabilizer last evening, installed it this morning and took no more than an hour and test drive went perfect. Will be giving a good long drive in a month with trailer in tow also so the true test will be down the freeway, big rigs passing and winds pushing.
Again the videos you have are great. The video even told me the wrench sizes to use which really helps with getting ready to get started. It was an easy install after watching the video. I referred to my phone as I installed it and now I'm ready for a test drive now to make sure it drives straight.
Received the package VIA UPS in 2 days. Checked contents and all parts were included. Installation took me about 1:20 min, I'm a senior, and it was only 35 Degrees out. Had to take a few warm up breaks. The new bolts for the frame bracket were the same thread size as original ones , but the heads were 17mm, the originals were 10mm , but no trouble installing them. You have to position the u-bolt bracket carefully to avoid the stabilizer from rubbing the radiator hose. I had about 1/4 space from the hose after I was finished. Took RV on a 25 mile road test, wind was blowing about 15mph. Steering was much improved. Noticed after turning a corner that the wheel did not take near as much driver input to return to center as it used to. Overall it seems to work pretty good.
Order was delivered on time. Parts were as described. Installation was easy if you follow the instructions that came with it. Product works great for steering stability
Just finished the test drive and it makes our Jayco 26m on the ford 450 chasis handle way better. was easy to install and instalation took 1.25 hrs. Delivery from etrailer to Ontario Canada was quick and arrived exactly when etrailer said it would
Thanks Lisa for your help in checking with Ford to be sure the Reflix Steering Stabilizer was the right fit for my motor home. I just received it and it was as easy to install as promised. Delivery was prompt and to my front door. I can't wait to try it out but it was obvious while installing it that it was just what I needed. Thanks again Lisa for your help.

Its been a year and many miles since I placed this upgrade on our motorhome. Im so happy that I did! If your thinking about this, based on my experience I say do it and dont look back. I believe you will love the difference in steering.
