To me it appears that the bushings are for a sway bar with a larger diameter than yours.

It all came as 1 kit with the swaybar. They test fitted snug onto the swaybar. They just get deformed when i crank down on the brackets.

Bushing could be deformed by slop in other front suspension components such as A-frame bushings or ball joints. A-frame bushings could be ovaled out.
OP: glad to see other components like springs and bell cranks are great quality.

This is what im starting to think. The front end seems tight upon inspection, but i must be missing something. I am not cheap about the safety of my family when it comes to maintaining my rv, However Im just not sure how much money i can keep pouring into a 30 year old rig. I’ll see how it is on my next trip. I was really hoping this upgrade would solve my sway issue. It also has a supersteer trac bar in the rear.
I was also speculating that maybe i installed the swaybar upside down, but theres no info on direction anywhere in the paperwork, and it visually appears to be symmetrical.

It looks to me that you have installed correctly.
Suggest you send an inquiry to Roadmaster. They are good for responding.
I have a note on my paperwork with a contact. Wayne Wells, old extension 169

Hey everyone, so i got in touch with roadmaster and they were incredibly helpful. After seeing the pictures they said the A arm bushings should NOT be split so i must have got the wrong bushings. They are express shipping me solid bushings so I’ll swap those in and we’ll see if things look more proper. I appreciate the help!!! I will post an update after the swap.

I believe I commented on the fact the end bushings were split and the center one is full. I think you installed in wrong positions.

Yep you did and thats why i brought it up to them. But i went and looked and noticed all 4 of my current bushings are split. 100% without a doubt, all 4 have splits.

A little off topic but when you replaced your springs, did you have the front end aligned to SuperSteer specs.
It made a world of difference in my P32.
