Speakking of Steering Boxes . . .

[Pete Masterson]

I have the Super-Steer with trim control installed by Henderson's
Line-up, Grants Pass, OR.

It seems to provide better handling -- and the trim control is handy
for relief of pressure on the steering wheel when dealing with a
cross-wind or road crown that give a pull to one side.

When I purchased my coach, it had a Blue OX "True Center" unit that
was damaged, jammed, and bent (and I understand had been recalled).
It caused a strong pull to the right. The bus handled much better
without it -- but had a bit of 'wander' (but also had a worn drag
link end that contributed to that effect). I can't say how much of
the handling improvement is due to the SuperSteer and how much is due
to the replacement of the drag link (tie rod) ends as they were
installed at the same time.
