Alignment Problems

Yahoo Message Number: 9690
Just finished a 1000 trip over long stretches of road only to notice I was having to constantly correct my steering. Move to the left then back to the right. CC Tech recommended I go to factor spec, 110 PSI and see if there is any difference. It helped some, but still have to correct the steering. Today I have three recommendations to have the alignemtn checked. The truck shop service writer told me the problem can be caused by several things including a worn steering gear box, drag link or tie rods. At 27K miles all of this sounds to soon. If you have experienced this and resolved the problem, please provide any suggestions.

This conditions is dangerious especially on wet narrow roads.
Dirvers beware.

I was having to constantly correct my steering. (snip) Might wanna check your alignment specs with CC. While here at the CC rally, I asked about ours and learned that our '98 36-foot non-slideout Intrigue's specs are 1/16" toe-in; 4-1/2 degrees + L caster; 5 degrees R caster. He said that the different L/R spec helps on crowned roads (common in NJ).
Your coach's specs may well be different.
