The first thing to look at is what is the underlying cause of the death wobble on your 2011 Chevy Express Conversion Van? Some vehicles just do it with no mechanical reason why. Others may be in need of some sort of repair or wheel balancing/alignment.

Basically if the root cause is not addressed there is no guarantee that a steering stabilizer or other product would solve the problem.

Steering stabilizer # RM-RBK17-RSSC does fit your van but the product that will make the greatest improvement in ride quality is a new anti-sway bar, # RM-1109-175. It is designed to minimize side-to-side movement to improve overall stability, reduces driver fatigue, and diminishes the effects of crosswinds, passing motorists, and shifting cargo. I have linked a video showing installation for you.

We would not consider your 2020 Mercedes Sprinter 2500 to be an RV, we consider it to be a passenger van for hitch bike rack compatibility. You will not have any issues with the Kuat NV 2.0 Base Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount -…

Answer 6

It is most likely a Class C. For a rear anti-sway bar you would use #RM-1109-150. Since it is a 2001 Chevy 3500 chassis you will need an additional axle mounting bracket, #RM-590061-00, to complete the installation. I have included a link to the sway…

The correct rear sway bar for your 2006 Roadtrek 190 Chevy 3500 is the Roadmaster part #RM-1109-175 for the rear that you referenced and then for the front #RM-1109-149 and you'd be set.

The fit of a Sway Bar like Roadmaster RM-1109-175 depends on the specific version of your base Chevy Express Van. For instance, if you have the 2500/3500 Class C Cutaway you can use part #RM-1109-175. This also fits other versions such as the…

I spoke with my engineering contact at Roadmaster, who tells me that the #RM-1109-175 anti-sway bar is the correct choice for your Micro Bird Bus on a 2005 Chevy Express cutaway chassis. Because the vehicle was built before 2007, the #RM-590061-00…
