Re: Loosy Goosy Stearing

What you need to do is look at the pan hard bar. If it is level it will create a loose feeling even if the rear end is centered. If the rear end is not centered the truck will also display some of the same symptoms. Pan hard bars are supposed to be installed as close to a 15 degree angle as possible to keep it from acting like a pendulum. I have no doubt that DeWayne's isn't even close to that with a 5" drop. Either way I have a sneaking hunch after talking to DeWayne a super pan hard bar is in the future. As we all know that lowering statically is not an exact science with trucks over 40 years old. The jury is out until DeWayne can get eyes on the adjustable he has installed now. WES
