Hello,

My 1980 FC31SB had allot of road play until I adequately lubricated all of the zirk fittings. There was always allot of steering box play on mine that I think is typical on the older front control BB's that have not had this addressed.

My PT-40 is rock solid and I really can't tell if it is windy or not w/o looking for visual indications. There is a slight effect from semis or simular vehicle that can interact with your wake, their wake, and the weather.

Perhaps blue bird installed a tag axle on the PT's for better tracking and stability. Or a means to an end, 42,000 would be allot of weight on 6 tires. A tag axle buys you an extra set of brakes, shocks, and poorer fuel economy.
