. and your 2017 Chevrolet Express van motor home. We're going to be taking a look at, and showing you how to install, Roadmaster's steering stabilizer.Before we install our steering stabilizer, we're just going to get a baseline on how our motor home drives. So we're going to go ahead and hit our test course here. We're going to start in the uneven bump section, and this is going to simulate hitting a pothole.You can see here, right already when we hit these potholes, it wants to kind of jerk our steering wheel around a little bit. And I'm sure you're used to that out there on the road at home when you're driving it.Next, we're going to be heading into our even bump section.
This is going to be simulating a parking garage, or maybe just pulling into your driveway if you've got a little hump there. With this, you're not going to notice it too much unless you're coming at it at an angle.If you hit one of those at an angle, one tire's going to hit before the other, and you might feel that jar. If you hit it straight on the steering stabilizer's not really going to make much difference in there. So you can see we're just kind of hitting them. It does still want to move our wheel a little bit here, because we're not hitting them perfectly straight.Last, we're going to go into our slalom section.
This is where we can simulate an evasive maneuver. With our steering stabilizer, if we had one installed, it would help us to return it to center. Without it right now, it's not really going to make much of a difference.So we're heading into the section now. And we can feel the motor home rocking a little bit. Our stabilizer's not going to affect the way it sways or anything like that.
You might want to look into a set of sway bars or SumoSprings if you're having issues there. Our stabilizer's really just going to help return it to center.This motor home doesn't drive too terribly bad right now. You do have to put a little effort into it. We're going to go ahead and take her back into the shop now. We're going to get our stabilizer installed, and then we'll hit our test course once again.Now that we've got our steering stabilizer installed, we're going to go ahead and hit our test course again.
Unfortunately, due to the location of the front subframe there, it does kind of block most of the shot of the steering stabilizer, but we should be able to give you a good rundown, and you should be able to see some of it moving. You can easily see the brackets where they're attached to the tie rod, that frame piece just blocks a lot of the stabilizer.So we're going to hit the uneven section, just like we did before. You can already feel a nice difference in how much it hits the steering wheel here. You still feel it a little bit in the steering wheel, but the amount that it jars has been quite a bit reduced.This is going to add up to just a lot of energy over a long drive. If you're going for eight hours, and every time you have to hit a bump you're compensating for it, that's going to add up. It does reduce it down quite a bit to where it's just pretty minimal, where the little bit that it moved, it wouldn't even really change our direction of travel.We're now hitting the even section again. With this, I kind of noticed it just a little bit, just if we're not hitting it perfectly straight. But for the most part, with your even bumps, you're not going to notice too much of a difference.And then we're going to head into the slalom section. What you're going to notice here is that, when we go to perform an evasive maneuver, the steering stabilizer's going to help pull it back straight. So we should feel, and probably even be able to see it in the wheel, bringing it back straight.We're heading into that section now. I can definitely feel kind of like an initial burst. It wants to go back right away and the last little bit I kind of have to finish up. That's just likely because the spring's almost reached its normal position, so the last little bit, it kind of eases into if it was going to do it for us.You can see it bring it right back there. It's pretty snappy on the initial return, so it does a lot of the work for you. And that's going to make a big, big difference over a long trip halfway across the country, or wherever you're going.This is what our steering stabilizer looks like when it's installed. It attaches between you
