On Tuesday April 17th I had Colton Terminal Truck Service work on our CC's steering/wandering problem. They adjusted both the front and rear alignment and ride height. They also adjusted the Caster, Camber, Toe and steering gear box.
It's about 70% better and the possible and probable cause for it still wandering is the Goodyear tires. They showed me the uneven wear on both the inside and out side tread on both tires.
I have Goodyear 295/80R22.5 Load Range H and have been told that they don't wear evenly. Now here is a question for this group:
A Michelin dealer said to use the XZA2 but a customer service person at Michelin said to useXZE2 which has a better ride. Does anyone know about this?
The other item is I want a better ride in the front. We have KONI, non-adjustable shocks. There are times that they will bottom out. It has been suggested that I use a KONI adjustable "red" shock #88-1641CP1. Has anyone in this group done this?
The attachment is a service manual for a Holland/Neway IFS. Maybe someone can use it.

Thanks for listening.

Ed,

Last month I put Michelin XZA-3 11r22.5 tires on my 05 Inspire. It has improved my ride over the Toyo's.
I have the Koni adjustable (red) shocks. When I bought the coach the shocks were adjusted to their softest ride. I was quite concerned because my coach would bottom out easily. I adjusted the shocks to their stiffest ride. The problem is solved. The ride is great now! I can recommend the adjustable Koni shocks! Good Luck,
RJ
