Question:

My Itasca 35f leans to the right [passenger] side. From what I can learn mine is not the only one. What would you suggest to fix this problem? Also would new sway bar bushings help a rig this new? if so what is part no.

Expert Reply:

I recommend having your suspension checked out to make sure there are no issues, but if everything is fine, suspension enhancement springs would help level your Itasca. I could not guarantee this will "fix" your lean but the SumoSprings Maxim Custom Helper Springs # SSR-187-54-1 are designed to help keep your RV level and minimize sway. These springs are for 2-wheel drive models - as each of the available springs we offer are - with a GVWR between 20,000 and 26,000 lbs.

As for the bushings, new ones would help if your factory bushings have become worn down. The ones you need would depend on the diameter of your factory anti-sway bar. We offer the Polyurethane Bushing Kit for 1-3/8" Diameter, Factory Rear Anti-Sway # RM-4139-300, Polyurethane Bushing Kit for 1-1/2" Diameter, Factory Rear Anti-Sway Bar # RM-4139-125 and Polyurethane Bushing Kit for 1-5/8" Diameter, Factory Front Anti-Sway Bar # RM-4139-127.

I've added links to video reviews of each of these products for you to take a look at.
