1999 Intrigue and Allure handling

Before someone makes the wrong recommendation about solving handling problems it might help if those who wrote posts on this subject would identify their wheel size.
CC made changes to both Intrigue and Allure around 1999 so it maybe the people with handling problems have the older wheels and suspensions.

The ride height considerations are independent of wheel size. The ride height specification may vary with wheel size, but if your coach is low in the rear (relative to the correct spec) it will tend to wander.
CC switched to the new ride height configuration (2 valves in the rear, one in front) at some point for new coaches, but I can't say exactly when. Our ride height reconfiguration "fix" was installed in the fall of 2000. It's easy to determine if a particular coach has the new configuration.

If your coach already has the new configuration it doesn't mean that you can't have a ride height problem. The ride height is simple for the dealer to check and adjust and can make a world of difference if it's not right.

By the way, in the process of working with the dealer to get the ride height back to spec he accidentally set the rear height about 3/4 inch too high. That produced a wicked rythmic howl in the drive train!

Jim, your post reads as though F102508 made the comments. I can't take credit for your informative post, I know almost nothing about ride height.

My note related to people identifying what type of wheels they had so that we could identify whether we have coaches of the same configuration. I guess I didn't write the note very well. Sorry.

I would like to encourage all writers to include their coach model, year and serial number when writing notes. Even those who are not current CC owners could help by at least adding their make, year and model.

What would really help would be a summary of significant changes shown by model, date and serial number.

The destinations magazine lists product updates but as a new member I only have a few issues. Does anyone have access to the last four years and willing to take on the project or researching major updates?

Just a thought.
