Will a rear trac bar fit a chassis equipped with a tag axle, and do you get the same results, as you would with a non - tag chassis .

If you put the trac-bar in front of rear wheels before tag wheels should make more stable.
Most people I have known said their tag Axel combo tracked very well with out it.
Have you looked at supports to see if something is loose on chassis for the tag combination?

Why do you feel you need a trac bar? Does your MH have a sway issue?
I agree with 007, your tag axle should be giving you a stable ride.
I found on my '97 F53 chassis the rear sway bar bushings were worn out and missing. They are easy to check and cheap to replace with a high quality poly bushing if needed. Check out my experience here regarding sway bar bushing replacement.

Yeah. I've felt the occasional 'tail wagging the dog', during gusty conditions.

I'll have to crawl around and see if I can find anything loose or worn. I'm pretty sure the coach still has the original 99' Ford shocks. So I thought while I'm in there replacing them with Koni's, I might want to install a trac bar at the same time.
