Driving down the road at 60 or so, I find myself correcting left and right due to - I think - tramlining since it tends to go away on smooth roads. But that's not the issue I'm concerned about....
When I correct back to the left, I feel bumps through the steering wheel while the wheel is held steady - meaning that there are no bumps when turning the wheel, but bumps when the wheel is held with the wheels pointed slightly left. Something like 10 bumps with the wheel held left for 2-3 seconds. Once in a while I think I notice a bump or two when steering to the right as well, but I can't be certain.
Prior to noticing this (although it may have been there since we acquired the coach a year ago), I'd corrected the lower steering column/steering box angle, cleaned and re-lubed the balls in the lower steering column CV joint (in place, didn't remove the balls), replaced the front calipers with 80mm (including grinding to fit), replaced the relay arm and drag link, and aligned toe-in to zero.
What could be causing this?
