nitro,

I have it all including the sway bars, TruCenter, cross braces, and front and rear Watts link. We did all these mods one at a time so have a good feel for the improvement to handling from each. If I could start over I would not install the sway bars or TruCenter. The Watts links will make your coach fill like you have sway bars and the TruCenter, which we still have, is virtually useless. I have actually taken it off to see what difference it made. I only put it back on because it will help reduce violent steering wheel movement during a front tire blowout.

Look on the steering box for a lock nut and adjustment screw. If you find the lock nut and adjustmenr screw it is a TRW. If you can not find the nut/screw combonation then it is most likely a Shepard. There are lots of photos in the swap thread.

Found this PDF that talks a lot about the adjustment screw and should give you a good ideal of what to look for.

Please post on existing threads

Once again, PLEASE make your posts to either the "TRW-Sheppard" swap thread or the "Wandering" thread. If this thread continues, it will separate valuable information into multiple threads, and decrease its usefulness.

There is a sticky at the top of the Monaco forum that gives links to both the swap thread and the handling thread. Here is a link to the sticky.
