wandering

[jim white]

Gene-
I just switched from Firestone TA's (ride much like wooden wheels) to
16" BFG All Season Commercial Steel Belted with rag walls. I started at
60 lbs. just last week for testing with air bags at 95 lbs.
What would you suggest?
Doc

[gordon & the "tin gerbil"]

I'm doing it right now. Look at "A" arm bushings, relay arm bushing and
ends, idler arm bushing and end, tie rod ends, steering box ABSOLUTELY
CENTERED, steering box clamp, steering shaft universal joint, steering
shaft slip coupling, steering shaft ball joint and steering shaft
bearings. Front bogie bushings. Check the depth of tread on the center
wheels compared to the rear wheels. This can tell you a lot about what
is going on with the front facing bogies, and the steering. I found one
tie rod end clamp loose, one shot tie rod end and the relay arm bolt
loose.
