Interesting observation, Greg,
This is why I asked about the steer wheels cut. Remember that the M380 has no tag axle. I could turn my M380 on a dime. I don’t know what the degree of wheel cut is on this Meritor IFS but there has been a trend lately by motorcoach manufacturers to increase the wheel cut to attain a smaller turn radius. Some (I think) are up into the 60 to 70 degrees area. Extreme wheel cut on a tag fitted bus could put a lot of side wall pressure on the steer tires.
