WE HAVE A 82 WONDERLODGE THAT LIKES TO WANDER GOING DOWN THE HWY. WE HAVE TRIED SEVERAL THINGS AND CAN'T SEEM TO FIGURE IT OUT. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS OR IS THIS NORMAL FOR THE AGE OF THE COACH?
THANKS
ANITA

How long have you had your coach? If just recently, you may be over correcting. You might have the king pins lubed and maybe your steering box needs attention. Ernie

Hi Anita
This is not normal. Could you tell me what you have done to date to fix the problem. Also l would need an idea of past front end repairs.
Ken

My 83 PT 36' 160K miles also wanders,but I assume it was the large steering wheel and me over correcting.

Hello,

Make sure all the zerk fitting are lubed. It will have over 20 of them and many mechanics wont take the time to hunt for them. Not likely the only issue but it made a big difference on my old bus when I finaly got under it and lubed the other 20 or so fittings the lube shop missed...

Good luck, Don

Anita:
I have an 84, and I thought it was pretty good without the wandering, but I changed all the shocks and wow, that made a big difference.
With the worn shocks you would also get bounce in the coach.

No it should not wonder. Could be as simple as tire pressure or adding grease to the king pins. Then check the tie rod ends, and the steering gear mounting bolts to the frame, ( they sometimes become loose). Or defective shocks, tires or steering alignment.
