Hi there, Forest River owners. Today, on your 2018 Forest River FR3, we're gonna be taking a look at and showing you how to install Roadmaster's sway bar. So here we've got our new sway bar, right next to our factory one here. Just wanted to give you a quick look so you could see how they differ from one another and right off the bat, you can see that this is a larger diameter than what our old bar was. So not only is this gonna be a stronger bar because there's just more material there, but this is a very high quality steel that constructs our bar. We can also see that our arms are just a little bit longer than what they are on this one. A little bit straighter. That should help you get just a little bit more leverage with this one in its twisting motion. So you're gonna get even more dampening with the arms being further out on this bar than this one here. And it's not a lot different, but that subtle difference does make a big difference on this bar cause it's so much stronger and larger than this one. And this is what our sway bar looks like when it's installed. The Roadmaster sway bar is going to be a direct replacement for your factory sway bar. It is going to be a more rugged, larger diameter, just a more robust sway bar than the one that you had before. The arms stick out just a little bit further, which means you've got more leverage that you're working with here. And again, the larger diameter, it means that we've got more steel here and our sway bar here in the front works like all your typical sway bars, to prevent sway. If we kind of... This is actually a really good look at it so you can kind of see how it works here. The front axle here is where we've got our sway bar mounted to, with the bushings here. And at the end of our sway bar here, we've got our end links that go up and connect to the frame. Our sway bar minimizes sway by, cause it kinda works like a spring bar somewhat, in a way. So our axle here, when you're driving down the road, your wheels are always on the road, moving you down the road, but your body is supported by your suspension on top of your axle. So as you go down a pothole or whatever, you know, the axle might dip down into a pothole. It's gonna be on the ground cause of gravity, so it goes down in the pothole. You've now changed the distance between the axle and the frame. And as that happens, our sway bar here actually twists. So if we have a heavy crosswind or something or we dip into a pothole, we'll use a crosswind as an example. So our axles are here, flat against the road, and here's our body. A crosswind just hit and it hit on our passenger side pretty hard. So the body's moving this way. Wheels are still on the ground. So since the body's tipping this way, that means that the frame here, where this is attached at the top, is getting down a little bit closer towards the axle down here. So that means this arm here's gonna push downward. At the same time, this side over here is getting a little bit further away from the axle as it tips that way. So our arm here, it's connected to the frame, is gonna be pulling up and it's doing kind of a twisting motion. This arm would go down, this arm would go up, and we've twisted this big, massive steel bar. It doesn't want to twist. This guy right here is in its position, it's resting position that it wants to be in. So if it does move, it's gonna want to snap back into position to help pull your motor home back upright again. And this works with, not just for crosswinds, for potholes. It also works for momentum. Maybe you took a heavy turn, maybe a evasive maneuver, and it starts to sway because of that momentum change, this is gonna help reduce how much sway you're gonna get there and actually improve your handling, so you can make those evasive maneuvers more easily. In addition to reducing how much sway you're gonna get from an event, it also helps to reduce the back and forth sway you get. So for an example, a truck flies by, a big old semi flies by, the crosswind, it tips you over to this direction. After he's gone, your motor home's gonna mark itself back upright. But that momentum is still going towards the upright direction. And it actually goes past center a little bit and it kind of goes back and forth and settles its way out. By increasing our sway bar's capabilities, we get less movement in each directio
