I saw a post that I now can't find. One of the folks on this forum tried moving the front stabilizer links to the upper hole on the stabilizer bar. Doing so would stiffen or mitigate some body roll in turns.

The fear was that it might cause the stabilizer bar to break requiring replacement. Cost for a replacement was thought to be reasonable enough to risk such an event.

I've considered doing the same to our 2011 Encounter 37 TZ. If anyone can say, did moving the attachment location cause any long term problems in tires, handling or in the life of the bar?

Are you satisfied now with handling since making this change?

Thanks all,

Roll

I think the thread you are looking for is called cheap handling fix.
The OP has claimed it works for his RV
