Is there a good motor home alignment shop around Tucson or Phoenix? The best I can tell they have to trick the coach into not to wandering.

Wandering is usually caused by not enough toe-in. 3/16 usually corrects the issue.

In Tucson, we just used W.W. Williams at 1375 W Glenn Street off I-10. Use the Miracle Mile exit for the best ez on and off...

Great folks, ask for Adam, 520.624.8377.

on our '04 Allure we have to have the toe-in adjusted about every 2 years. The right side front is the problem.

IF you have to keep having the toe-in adjusted you have a tie rod end that is wearing. I suggest finding the loose one and replace it.

the toe-in has been a problem with our '04 Allure since we bought it in 2005. Thanks for the suggestion - it's worth having checked now that we have over 120,000 miles on our coach.

Lonny, et al. Be sure you have the alignment specs with you when you look for an alignment facility. Most shops do not have the Dynamax chassis specs in their alignment equipment and therefore have to enter the specs manually. Also, I have found, much to my dismay, that some shops do not know how to set toe-in on IFS front ends. Of course this can be done without factory specs (1/16-3/16 toe-in) but the tech has to understand the right/left independence of the IFS.

I am not in the AZ area. But, any good truck shop can usually handle it.

It looks good! You did a good job of repairing it.
