I'm in the process of ordering a set of True Track bogie "controllers" for my front bogie, to eliminate the tendency toward rut steer (not a huge problem, but annoying enough to want to do something about it).

Then it hits me - my rig has aftermarket swaybars on both bogies. I really (REALLY!) like the stability these provide, and would really NOT want to remove them. But since the True Track device bolts onto the same place the swaybars do, I'm not sure there's room for both, or that they won't interfere with other components (mainly, the lower shock mount/bushing).

Here's a photo of my front bogie:

If you're wondering, the washer on top of the swaybar bushing has "smooshed" that blue top bushing - indicating to me that the swaybars really DO exert some force to keep the coach level in a turn).

Has anyone out there installed BOTH the True Track and swaybars on their front bogie?
