    Lateral travel, where airbags are leaning toward the driver's side of the truck, is supposed to be corrected by a rubber bushing. See photo. This small block of rubber mounted in a 1-1/2 steel box, on a stamped steel mount, seems under engineered to me. Stabilizer bracket isn't adjustable either, so as cab drifts from a cross wind, no correction can be made other than replace the rubber part. Anyone else have this problem? image.jpg

    This is your solution, find a vin off a volvo daycab and say you want those triangle brackets shouldn't be more then 40 bucks, if you have the bracket in your picture the holes should be predrilled already right under where that assembly would sit on. This truck is an vn780 and I've already went through some bad winds with minimal sway!
