Rear Track Bars
So, I've got some money to spend and I'm looking at a rear track bar for our 2007 W22 chassis. It seems like every one I look at is out of stock on planet Earth! So, since I've got time to burn, which track bar is the most recommended by the experts here: it seems like the Blue Ox one and the Tru Trak ones are the popular ones, but what's the general consensus here? If you're spending my money, which one would you get, why would you get that one, and where would you get it?

If you can't buy it then make it and if that is not an option, take it to a car and truck specialty shop and have them make it up for you. It is not all that involved and well worth doing.

I went with the Blue ox Tiger Track but really there all the same . Shop around and get the best deal.

What Ray said. I think they all pretty much work the same way, and it's the single best improvement you can make to a W-series in my opinion.

We have an 06 W22 and curious about the benefits of the rear track bar that everyone experiences? Ours drives pretty good but when I hook up the Jeep on the tow bar it tends to "rear steer" the motorhome and wondering it this might help.

I haven't experienced that, but what the rear track bar REALLY helped with was the "rear steer" (aka "tail-wagging-the-dog") effect when when 18-wheelers pass you on the left, so it doesn't seem too far fetched to think it might help with your problem.

It will surely help with the "rear steer" effect of your toad.
