Hellwig 7718 Solid, Heat Treated Chromoly, 1-3/8" Front Sway Bar

Shipped fast, fit perfect

I purchased this front anti-sway bar along with the Hellwig rear bar. The heading says it's for the Ford 150 - 350; however, it is also the specified unit for my 2018 class c camper on the e450 chassis. It fits well and, what problems I had putting it on weren't really the fault of the bar. These things are just kind of awkward for one person to install due to their length and weight. I pulled the front wheels on blocks which gave me about 4 extra inches of work room and used a pyramid stand to hold one side of the stabilizer while I worked on the other. My only installation problems came from the front bolts on the frame. These were extremely tight and I needed to use a cheater bar to break them loose. The instructions do NOT tell you how tight to torque the bolts when reinstalling them so I got some numbers online. Beware that the rear bracket bolts are not nearly as tight as the front ones and it will be very easy to strip them out on the frame if over-tightened. Once I got the front and rear bars installed, I was able to drive the camper about 20 - 30 miles on various roads before later installing a Safe T Plus steering stabilizer. By themselves, I noticed a much stiffer ride in my 32 foot camper which made handling a lot easier - especially on curvy roads and on the Interstate at 60+ MPH. I would heartily recommend these anti-sway bars. BTW, I called tech support at one point and the rep was very helpful.

Wow, what a difference this made to our motorhome. I also added a Safe-t-plus steering stabilizer and Moog sway bar links. It made a huge difference in the stability and driveability. Now going 70 in the highway is so much easier and less stressful. My wife even commented on how much less the motorhome swayed from trucks passing us and when there were cross winds trying to push us around. The upgrade is well worth the cost.

This is the 3rd Rv I have installed Hellwig front sway bars in. First was a 36-foot Class A, then a 27-foot Class C, and now a 22-foot Class A. Stability and handling were improved each time.

the factory one is tiny this one made a big difference

Had these installed on a 2014 ford 350 RV super duty cutaway. Bolt pulled out of frame after install on the road. What a pain in the ass! On installation you'll need to cut frame so you can put a nut on those bolts for proper instillation. Wish i would have been aware of that when i bought them! They are great i stll recommend them highly just be aware on instillation do it right !

the sway bar stop the pitch and role of our class C motor home

Huge improvement in handling of 32’ Class C RV
