Hitting rutted pavement or uneven highways doesn’t have to mean constant steering corrections. The Roadmaster TruTrac Front-Axle Trac Rod braces the front axle to keep it in line, preventing jarring and rut tracking. It controls side-to-side axle play without affecting normal suspension movement, so steering feels tighter and more predictable even when the road surface isn’t.
Loose steering and constant correction can wear you out on long drives. The TruTrac system minimizes wander by holding the axle steady, cutting down the “floating” feel that leads to oversteering. With the front end staying pointed straight, you spend less time fighting the wheel and more time enjoying an easy, steady drive.
This setup is made to last with thick, cadmium-plated 4140 chromoly steel for superior strength. Instead of standard rubber, it uses polyurethane bushings that resist oil, gasoline, and ozone. They don’t squish out or wear fast, which means less give in the system and more consistent performance mile after mile.
No need to drill or weld anything. The TruTrac mounts to existing holes in the frame and comes with all the hardware and installation instructions you need. It’s a simple bolt-on job that locks your front axle in line and gets you back on the road with a solid, stable feel.

Speaker 1: Today, we're taking a look at the Roadmaster TruTrac Front-Axle Trac Rod for large trucks and RVs. Now, this product is designed to fit a 2003 to 2017 Freightliner M2, so to ensure, double check that this is a fit for your vehicle, you can go over to eTrailer.com, you can enter your year, make, and model into the vehicle fit guide, and it will confirm whether or not this is a fit for your vehicle. Now, this kit is designed to brace your vehicle's axle, to prevent jarring, and to help keep it inline as you travel down the road. So it really helps minimize loose steering and rut tracking, which is gonna help improve overall performance. It controls excessive axle side play without affecting the up and down movement of your suspension. Another neat benefit of installing this system is, it's really gonna help reduce driver fatigue.
That's that white knuckling affect that you get when you're having to battle that loose steering in the steering wheel. You feel exhausted once you get to where you're going, that's because you're fighting your rig so much. This reduces that, so it minimizes the amount of effort required by the driver to keep your vehicle inline during travel, and reduces the amount of fighting the steering wheel.It's built with these polyurethane bushings instead of standard rubber. That's designed to increase the life of the system. Polyurethane is durable and resistant to damage that's typically caused by oil, gasoline, and ozone.
Less wear means less give in the system, and overall better support. It's constructed of thick cadmium-plated 4140 chrome moly steel for superior strength. It installs using your existing holes in the vehicle's frame, so there's no drilling or welding required. It also attaches to the front axle of the vehicle, essentially holding it in place to prevent jarring and any unnecessary shifting. Now, when you're installing it, you will need to take this portion here, this is the actual track rod, and you will need to adjust the length to best fit your particular application.
It includes all mounting hardware and installation instructions, comes with everything you need for your install. The brackets are made from durable steel. Again, they have that nice black powder-coated finish to resist rust and corrosion and lasts a long time. The product's also made in the USA. That's gonna do it for today's look at the Roadmaster TruTrac Front-Axle Trac Rod for large trucks and RVs..

Glad to hear it was an easy install, Kenny! What did you install it on? This fits a few different models and I have heard it isn't as simple as it is on others.

"Better late than never," as they say! Glad to hear the ride’s smoother now. Are you mainly towing or hauling a load in the bed, Bob?

the trac bar transformed my motorhome. i drove from arizona to nothern michigan when i bought it and drove thru harsh storms in texas and oklahoma with strong cross winds and went off the road a few times. with the trac bar i can drive with one hand under all conditions. best thing anyone could do to improve driving and safety. i installed a rear one later and it helped a bit but onlt about 10 of what the front one did.

The sway bar has helped, but the RV still does not drive very well. I have also added a steering stabilizer with limited success.

Thanks for the honest feedback! We can definitely understand where you're coming from. Sometimes suspension upgrades make a huge difference, and other times the improvements are a lot more subtle than expected, especially after investing in multiple components. It sounds like you've put together a solid setup, even if the results haven't quite matched the cost so far. If you end up trying a sway bar or steering stabilizer down the road, we'd love to hear how it works out.
