FC Steering adjustments? - bascom1968 - 02-01-2006 14:25

I would like to tighten up the steering on my 1977 FC coach. What can I
do? The drag link is tight and in good condition. Thanks, JB Lewis

Tighten all the components, plates, from the steering box to the coach
frame rail. I did this on an earlier coach and it resolved lots of
steering issues. Get underneath and you will see the bolts/nuts to
tighten. About 13 or 14 if I recall correctly. Good luck!

Addition to previous note...when underneath, don't go by visual, put
wrenches on the nuts and bolts and they will tighten up.

FC Steering adjustments? - rwoodysurplus - 02-01-2006 14:56

check the 4 bolts that hold the box to the frame

get to them under the coach and have some one crank the wheel back
and forth while the bus is stopped and shut off to see movement.

also can be wheel bearings loose and or kingpins bushings or spring
eye bushings.

IMO only......

if you have air bag ft add the pan bar that holds the axle in place
for bushing wear.

Hauling Wood 81fcrbsgd with some new gears and redneck bodywork and
paint prep!

road trip 525 miles tommorrow with fuel and speed report upcoming.
