Breeze handling problems

[aplphy]

If your Breeze is out of control in cross winds, This is a tip:
Check the rear sway bar bushings. The sway bar is 1 5/8 inches.
The IFS only has a sway bar on the rear axle, it must work.
My 2014 Breeze 32BR had 1 3/4 inch bushings installed when built.
Simple to check, just see if your sway bar is tight in it's bushings.
This 1/8 inch difference makes the sway bar useless.
Coach needs to be on flat level ground when checking.
Laydown, slide under front of rear tires, grab the sway bar, see if it is tight.
These bushings are 16" apart on the front of the sway bar.
Anyone that can get under the coach can check this.
It takes 20 minutes to change the bushings if they are wrong.(after you get the correct ones)
Hard part is to change them you must be able to work under the coach, thus a pit or ramps are needed.
This fix does not have to be done by an RV shop, any mechanic can do this.
All Breeze chassis have the possibility of having the wrong bushings. (over 1200 built since 2011)
I found this just by chance while inspecting the rear chassis. White knuckle driving is fixed.
Also I installed a Safe-T-Plus on the 2014 IFS front end. This kit will be available soon.

I had a similar issue on my 2003 Allegro Bus, recently purchased, the sway bar bushings were completely gone. I called Freightliner and ordered new ones, took maybe half and hour to install. Significant difference in handling.

Great tip Aplphy, I've been in contact with Saft-T-Plus and they say they will have a bracket ready for sale in next couple of months. Did you make your own bracket?

yes I made my bracket. I sent safe-t-plus drawings and they are basically
coping what I made.

I’m a big fan of the Safe-T-Plus. On the first trip a few weeks ago, our 2015 Allegro 36LA didn’t handle as well as I thought it should. It wondered a little & required constant steering inputs. The Allegro wasn’t awful, but 5 hrs of driving was enough.

On day 4 we had the Safe-T-Plus installed at Camping World & what a difference. It handles like a big baby now, no wondering, no constant steering inputs. When an 18 wheeler comes up behind us, we seldom notice any push or sway.

Great product and there’s the safety aspect when the front tire blows out.
