On our latest trek I discovered that one bolt from each of the rear anti-sway bar brackets had either unscrewed them selves or were never installed. This is on a 2011 frame!! On the right the bottom bolt was missing, and on the left it was the top bolt. The left bracket was hanging down and was twisted open a wee bit so I could not reinstall it. Also the left bushing was torn and will need to be replaced. I had a Ford dealer in Ridgecrest CA do the repair - they were absolutely awesome. I also had them take a quick look for other potential loose screws and they found none.

It's very rare to find stuff like that happening from Ford. I can theorize that the coach builder had to do some mods to the rail and concluding that, the suspension gear was not tightened properly but who knows.
