Will Safe-T-Plus Steering Stabilizer Help In Slow Driving Too? 2018 Fleetwood Bounder 33C F53

Question:

2018 Fleetwood Bounder 33C. Is the Safe-T-Plus ST88MR worth it for slower-speed driving too? I do most of my driving on narrow two-lane highways in the mountains

Alan, thanks for the details!

You’ll definitely notice the difference even off the interstate. The stabilizer # ST88MR doesn’t just help at high speed, it also helps hold your line on curvy, uneven mountain roads where ruts and dips try to pull the steering off-center.

It won’t make the wheel “fight” you in tight turns either - it’s balanced to allow full motion while still returning to center naturally. Install time is roughly an hour and uses the included F-53-specific bracket kit.

If you ever run long downhill grades with crosswinds, you’ll appreciate how steady it keeps the wheel. Do you also run upgraded shocks or still on stock?
