Hello all. I'm Jim Bell @ 24084. I bought Lurch in 2009 and it is slowly becoming usable. If I'd known what I know now, I wouldn't have bought Lurch. Hindsight is 20/20. It had a repaint and interior redo in the 90's, but the mechs were a mess. The Coop did superior work for me (Three weeklong visits. Jim Bounds went out of his way to help. This is before the Coop moved to their new digs) At the Ohio rally, Alex Ferrera noted that the steering gear alignment was correct, but noted feathering on some of the tires. He also suggested cleaning the filter screen going to the wiper motor. That made a difference, but...

I can do oil changes and simple maintenance, not a wheel alignment on a 6 wheeled coach.

Here is my issue. Alex noted feathering on some tires. That indicates an alignment problem. I have to have a hand on the wheel at ALL times and watch the road.

Who can make my coach steer right? Going to FL takes two days down and two days back. Is there anyone closer?

Thanks in advance, I am, Jim Bell.
