To Ken: I see no evidence that the suspension has been changed and the vintage of the front 4 bag setup is of the late 70's vintage.

To Gordon: The track bar (transverse torque bar) really seems to take a beating and on the Wanderlodge site there were multiple references to needing to change the end bushings. I will be having mine checked out. You also noted that wheel bearings can make a difference. I've been studying the trucking standards for getting this right and it's more sophisticated than the way I've done in on old cars, tractors and airplanes. This too will get checked out along with the bushing in the fore-to-aft parallel torque arms. Once I get all this straightened out I'm thinking I will reduce my steering wheel size from 22" to about 18" or so. I expect when this is all done it will drive like a dream and I will share a summary of all that was done and the results.
