Video Transcript for Review of Roadmaster Anti-Sway Bars - Front Anti Sway Bar 1-3/4 Inch - RM43BQ

Hi everybody, Andy here with etrailer. Let's take a quick look at this Roadmaster front anti-sway bar. Now, this anti-sway bar has been designed to fit your 2021 and newer international trucks MV series, specifically the MV607 and the MV60H low profile. Now on custom-fit parts such as this bar, I do recommend taking advantage of our vehicle fit guide here at etrailer.com. Simply input the year, make, and model of your vehicle and our fit guide will confirm if this will work for you or if we have something comparable that will work for you. Now, this anti-sway bar does for side-to-side movement what a good pair of shocks does for that up and down motion.

You're gonna notice a marked improvement in the overall stability of your vehicle as this bar works to balance weight transfer and reduce body roll. This anti-sway bar acts as a link between your vehicle's frame and its front axle using the axle as a brace to more, effectively balance the shifting weight of your vehicle as you maneuver it. And we do have bushings here that come with lubricant. So this is going to work together to allow enough, just enough pivot and rotation to compensate for the pressure placed on one side of your vehicle when it goes into sudden maneuvers or hits crosswinds or encounter shifting weights. Now you're gonna be able to execute those turns and quick maneuvers with confidence 'cause this allows for a level ride even on irregular surfaces.

And this is gonna help reduce driver fatigue by minimizing the effort required to keep your vehicle in line. This has been engineered to avoid interference with most popular aftermarket add-ons and accessories and it's heat-treated for heavy duty applications. So the bushings, they are polyurethane and they're polyurethane instead of the standard rubber variety for a longer lasting system. Polyurethane is durable. It's resistant to damage caused by oil, gasoline, and ozone.

So less wear means less given the system and better over support. This bar is made from 4140 chromoly, it's a chromium and molybdenum steel alloy. I think I'm saying that correctly. So this type of steel is considerably harder and stronger than the standard 1020 steel that's typically used in anti-sway applications. In addition, the larger diameter of this bar, it's 1 3/4 inches, actually increases its torsional roll stiffness.

So the result is a bar that's not only stronger than the competition, but it's also nearly 30% better at resisting sway. So again, the polyurethane bushings are used as attachment points and it's gonna be durable yet flexible. It's going to ensure that the system is neither too rigid or too malleable, so it's gonna become ineffective. And then you're also going to get the heavy gauge mounting hardware. These brackets and the brackets, if you notice, are coated in the same black powder coat finish. So it's gonna do a great job of resisting rust and corrosion. You're gonna get a tube of fiber type, and as I mentioned, lubricant or grease for those bushings. And if you happen to have any other questions, whether it's about this or anything else that we carry here at etrailer, don't hesitate to reach out 'cause we do wanna make sure that you're getting exactly what you need. Also, I failed to mention that you're going to get a full set of instructions here with color photos actually to guide you through that installation process. But I think that's gonna wrap up our look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.
