Rear Trac Bar R26 UFO

[Mike and Susan]

Hi all I'm having trouble finding info for a rear trac bar for my 2008 Winnebago Adventure Limited R26 UFO chassis
any help or info would be greatly appreciated.

Not sure they make one for a rear engine chassis, but if anybody has one, it will be HERE: www.ultrarvproducts.com

Yeh I didn’t find one on their site but I sent them an email to see if they are available.

Your rear suspension isn't like those that use, or can easily add, a track bar. The "torque box" handles the side to side loading of the rear suspension.

Here's a technical manual for your suspension:

What problem are you trying to cure?

THANK YOU for posting these links. In all honesty this is the first time I've ever seen this version of the "torque box" suspension, but I see these are obviously labeled as being for the UFO. I'm wondering if this product is being offered as an aftermarket enhancement to the original designed used on the production R-26 chassis.
Perhaps I'm wrong, and I hope a UFO owner will correct me if I am, but I don't think these are what WCC installed as OE. I say this because I would have sworn the UFO's torque box was connected to a vertical plate that was WELDED to the top of the rear axle housing. I'm sincerely hoping somebody can confirm if my memory is correct, or not. Ed

Hmmm, I only remember reading about a "torque box" rear suspension back when the UFO came out. I assumed I had found the suspension Workhorse used. Maybe not. Tough to find stuff about it as it's 10 years old now....

This look like the Hendrickson manual:



Can't see the axle connection here though....

I haven't heard of any UFO owner who has experienced handling problems, except the porpoising, which was corrected with the installation of Koni shocks.


I will have mine home tomorrow and will try and remember to look at the mounting you (Ed) described.

Upon further review, everything I have about the UFO indicates it does have a "Hendrickson "torque box" rear suspension" and I've found no mention of it being welded to the rear axle as I posted above. I either dreamed that, or perhaps it was on some other brand of chassis I viewed at a show somewhere, perhaps a Spartan, IRDK.

Hey guys I appreciate all the input, I’m currently upgrading my handling with new Koni shocks and a steering stabilizer I was going to put on a trac bar also but couldn’t find one but if it’s not available that’s fine the upgrades so far will make a huge difference.
