If I take my eyes off the road for a second, I might find myself upside down in a bean field. When I bought the coach the front wheel bearing nuts were over four turns too loose. (How does this happen?) Took them off, checked the bearings, and put them back RIGHT, with fresh gear lube. Made a huge difference, but still I can't look away for a second. I watched Ernest Borgnine on YouTube looking around and carrying on conversations with everyone in the coach. He even made a remark saying it was like driving a really big station wagon. I've been to three alignment shops. Watched YouTube videos about adding caster to make the wheels want to center. Some one asked why the shims on the spring perches are facing opposite directions. Hmm, I don't know, maybe something to do with road crown. So I already know about the add on stuff. I just think this coach should drive a little more like a really big station wagon. In about 300 days we plan on being full timers. Any Ideas before we hit the road? . . . ahh leave?

I can tell you that on mine, if I put more pressure on the front end with the rear air bags the steering gets some better. Lowering the front tire pressure to the manufacturers recommended load inflation psi helps as well.

Thanks for the ideas. The tag for the front says 115 and I run them at 110, because when I hit a pot hole it's like an explosion. The tag for the rear says 95 and I run them at 90 for the same reason.
