Hi, everybody, Andy here with etrailer. Let's tale a quick look at this Hellwig Rear Anti-Sway Bar. Now this anti-way bar has been designed to fit your 2019 Forest River Forrester Motorhome Sprinter 3500 Class C and then your 2014 to 2018 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500, the Cargo Van or the Class C. Non custom fit parts such as this bar I do recommend taking advantage of our vehicle fit guide here at etrailer. Just enter the year, make and model of your vehicle and answer any other questions that it might have for you and our pick guide will do the work confirming that this will work for you or maybe we've got something else that will work for you if this particular one will not work for you. Now this is all about making your vehicle feel more stable and easier to control, especially when you're driving something heavy or dealing with uneven conditions this is going to significantly reduce that side to side sway so you're vehicle's gonna feel more planted when you're turning, changing lanes or making quick maneuvers.
Even on rough or uneven roads this is gonna help keep everything level which is gonna make the drive smoother and more predictable. And one of the big benefits people notice is how much less effort it takes to keep your vehicle tracking straight. This is gonna cut down on the effects of crosswinds, passing trucks and shifting cargo which means you're not gonna be constantly correcting your steering. That's gonna lead to less driver fatigue and especially on those longer trips. Now from a durability standpoint, this is built to last, this uses polyurethane bushing, instead of rubber, so there's gonna be less wear over time and less give in the suspension.
That means better support and longer service life. Even when exposed to oil, gasoline or ozone. And the sway bar itself is made from thick 4140 Chromoly steel for strength and it has a corrosion resistant powder coat finish that's gonna protect it from the elements. And so installation is gonna be pretty straight forward it doesn't require any major modifications. It does have the little bit of hardware that you have here, but this is going to use your existing vehicle hardware and end link so that's really gonna make this a simple upgrade for you.
Instructions are included to walk you through that installation process. And the sway bar at the diameter of the sway bar is one and a half inches which is going to give you the stiffness needed to noticeably improve stability without making your ride overly harsh. So overall, this is gonna be a solid upgrade if you want better control, more confidence behind the wheel and overall a more comfortable driving experience. If you happen to have any other questions, whether it's about this or anything else that we have here at etrailer, don't hesitate to reach out to us we wanna make sure you're getting exactly what you need. Well, again my name is Andy, thank you for joining me.

Ratings & Reviews
Had my doubts about anti-sway making much of difference, but after I installed it and took it for a test drive, it was like day and night, along with a steering damper it almost drove like my pickup. I just don't understand why these motorhome manufactures don't install these things at the factory. This greatly improves handling as well as safety. So if you do the white knuckle death grip driving I would highly recommend you have this installed along with a steering damper. No regrets.
The install video and product description shows you can use it in place of your existing swaybar. I watched all of the videos read the directions and the brackets did not lineup. Made sure it was for my make and model, had to make it work by bending a few brackets to fit. If I didn’t already have my RV disassembled in my driveway and was a pinch I would have returned it.
The installation went well. Lots of rolling on the ground! Allowed two hours was closer to four hours when completed. Will need to get some mileage on the motor home to determine if it was worth it.
It wasn't too hard to install yourself and it does make a difference with the sway
Hellwig makes a great sway bar, and etrailer has great service ! What more can you ask ?
Big and Beefy! For years, Hellwig has been my go to vendor when it comes to suspension augmentation for my towing needs. I am not surprised at the quality of this front sway bar. I am paired it with a new Hellwig rear sway at as well. It will make a huge difference when towing my heavy fifth wheel.
My rig was equipped with one inch sway bars, front and back. Today was my first trip since I installed the inch and a half bar on the rear. Wind gust were up to 25mph. It made a world of difference in the effort it took to maintain my lane. Still took a little effort. I may go with the one and three eights bar on the front, along with sumo assist springs. That should eliminate all sway.
This with sumo front and rear and Bilstein shocks bought locally improved the stability of our sprinter class C by multiple factors.
The handling went from sucking to this is pretty good. Why did we wait 2 years?
I'm using both front and rear swaybars by Hellwig, along with a Safe T Plus steering stabilizer, and it's been like night and day when compared to what was OEM in my '25 Ford E450. I no longer experience the super flighty feeling when driving in high winds, and, while I won't say it drives just like my car, it is a much more solid and stable, and relaxed, driving experience.
Really improved the handling. Passing trucks on the interstate isn't as uncomfortable anymore. Generally I can now drive one handed. One person can change them but two would be easier.
sway bar adds strength to handle heavy tow and stability during normal driving. The big beast is actually much smoother with this and the Sumo spring helpers. It takes the annoying bounce out of the empty low weight drive also. Highly recommend!
Thanks for the help on determining if my sway bar link is ok to use on my 2001 Ford E350 or if it's at too much of an angle. Attached are a couple of pictures I took of my install.
Please let me know if there is anything additional I can provide.
Installed on 2026 F150 Tremor 402B. As the stock sway bar is even softer than the standard F150 HD bar to allow for more independant movement when offroading, this leads to increased body roll while onroad. The Hellwig sway bar exceeded my expectations for stabilizing and flattening the truck in turns. To have the trucks full offroad capability I just need to disconect the endlinks.Truck now handles incredibly well onroad, which is where is will mostly be driven. Installation was easy.
The sway bar is definitely beefy and well made. Now that it’s installed I’m pleased with it and hope it helps with cross winds. Two small issues with the install. First we were missing the 2.75” bolts and Hellwig shipped them to me FedEx two day no questions asked but still a delay. Second, the U-Shape brackets are way too tight. Watched a video on YouTube and the guy warned us on this. There is no need for it to be this tight. Need to flex out the U brackets to squeeze in the washers. It’s almost impossible. Lastly the boxing of the bar is inadequate, it needs to be secured in better.
Ordering was simple with the help of Andy. Item was delivered a day early.
We purchased the Hellwig front sway bar. Have only driven the unit back to storage (about 4 miles) so haven't been able to experience the end product. Can't wait to hit the road and not sway into another lane from an 18 wheeler going by us
The instructions say to use the original mounting nuts on the new bracket. However, the holes on the bracket are too large requiring the use of washers to avoid the nuts from being partially in the holes. For the amount paid, you would think it would come with all of the appropriate mounting hardware. Not happy being delayed until a run to the hardware store for install.
I hope the ride is at least improved.
Thank you Etrailer and especially Gabby for answering a few technical and part number questions.The Etrailer YouTube tutorials were very beneficial in helping complete this DIY project, no problem! The upgrades with the Hellwig front and rear sway bars improved the handling and reduced the rock-n-roll sway across rough roads and in the corners as well as large trucks and busses passing by. The upgrades also included a Safe-T-Plus steering stabilizer. This Thor Freedom Elite 25’ E350 chassis now drives more like a big pickup truck instead of a large RV. Thank you Etrailer, Hellwig and Safe-T-Plus. We’re ready to hit the road for long trips with confidence!!
Fast service
This seems to help controlling the RV b etter
Very well made and improves handling!!!!
