Rear stabilizer assembly

[Russ & Dana]

I have a 2000 Dolphin by National RV Ford F53 chassis
It was leaning to one side (curb side) so i got underneath and saw that the rubber spring assembly was broken clean through.

Does anyone know where i can get a replacement assembly,
Does Mor/ryde sell directly to the public.

also

I had camping world price me air bags on the rear, estimated price was $550.

Is it worth the price to get the airbags, would that help the leaning problem once the spring assembly was fixed also.

I have plenty of question if there is someone that can give me some advice.

As far as I know, Yes they do.

Make sure you know why you are installing the air bags.

The bags are not designed so much to counter a lean (roll) but to adjust pitch (front to back level).

Russ, As relates to your chassis questions, consider posting in the Ford Owner's Forum

Thank you for the response.

I was thinking the air bags would adjust the roll. I will rethink the airbag idea.

I will post the same in the Ford Owners forum

thanks again

I found some books on my 200 dolphin and a diagram for the tag axle.

Mor/Ryde in elkhart indiana made the tag axle and also the rubber spring assemble.

The dolphin is titled as a 2000 model but has a 1999 chasis.


I called them up and ordered the part. It was to me in two days and my 14 yr old son and i tackled the project. About 2 hours later the rubber spring assembly was in as well as both shocks on the tag axle.

It completely fixed the roll to the curbside. I think i will can the airbag ideas for now.

Just wanted to give an update in case anyone else has the same problem.
