Johnny,
Installing a new bellows I don't believe will mess up your steering as long as you mark everything and put it back together lined up exactly the same way.
My steering is a different story... When we had my steering box out of the coach and sitting on the bench, you could feel a little back and forth play in the input shaft. The box we installed had some of the same but not as much. My thinking is play at the steering wheel increases proportionately. A little play in the input shaft on the bench equals proportionately more at the steering wheel because of the increased size of the radius. When you're driving highway speed too much play in the steering wheel keeps you alert, too much so. You can't relax and just enjoy driving. Do you guys agree?
I have lot of respect for Manny. How did he make his determination? If you told him it was handled well, did he decide there was no reason to change anything? When he looked inside the hatch, what did he look at, measure or line up?
All the best,
Tom Whitton

My coach has handled well since I got it. Manny looked in the hatch in Patterson last ear, "It's right, don't touch it" so I haven't. I have a new
bellows but I'm scairt I'll screw it up installing it.....
