Steering stabilizer

We have 2012tiffin 42qbh on freightliner chassis with tag. Looking for input on what steering stabilizer to install. Doesn’t handle to bad but could be better also should assist in the event of a front end tire failure. Thanks Woody

steering stabilizer is not going to help in the event of a tire failure. If all the front end components are in good shape and alignment good their should be no reason to install a stabilizer its just used as a bandaid to mask another issue

I wouldn't be without Safe-T-Plus

I wouldn't be without a Safe-T-Plus. It was the first thing I did when I bought this MH.

If you search the forum you will find others who had the same experience with a blowout and having Safe-T-Plus as I did on my previous MH. I was driving on I-10 in Texas running about 70 mph when the right front tire blew. I honestly heard it blow but didn't feel it. I was able to coast to a stop in the median. The force of the blowout blew the "fender" off that side and damaged a shock. The insurance adjuster couldn't believe how little damage there was. He said, and I also read, there is usually heavy damage and even injuries.

The tire that blew was no more than 2 years old and tire pressure adjusted to weight is always done before I drive.

This is not one of my strong areas of knowledge - but if you have an independent front wheel suspension that is in good shape get the recommendation of a really good shop before doing add-ons. Things like alignment, tire condition, ride height and air bag valve adjustments make a big difference.
Many of us use Freightliner's Gaffney Service Center in Gaffney, SC. You can also call the Freightliner Help Line 24/7 800-FTL-HELP with your VIN # and they can research the chassis and offer some thoughts.
Let us know what results - we're all learning!
