Safe T Steer

[bubblerboy64]

Just a bit more on the subject and to address Gardners comment about
tracking. I took the bus to the shop with a goal of improving the
ride. They are the ones which picked up on the handling and tracking
issues. Now I know the bus wondered some because when I first got it
I had my heart in my throat driving it for the first say 1000 miles
or so. At some point I guess I learned to go with the flow or ride
the bicycle or what ever happens to us FC drivers. Shane drove the
bus and he felt that perhaps the alignment need checked. My point is
we may become desensitized to the handling issues and also what did
they handle like when brand new? Might be easier if I knew what to
shoot for. We don't want to just throw parts at this bus chasing a
ghost. If you get my drift. I would assume that the shop will also
have visual clues as to what needs replaced due to age and
deterioration. I guess at this point I will tell them to fix what's
broke or worn and not to expect to make this "handling" issue go away
completely. Sound like a plan?
