Gerald Works. Thanks for the wakeup call. I've been aware of what you brought up. And on this latest 78. Just haven't thought of the rear as much as I should have. I had checked for rear pins condition by the pry bar method. And have paid close attention to how the coach handled as trucks passed by for rear steer. But I failed to check rear alignment. A few years ago I had the opportunity to drive an extremely low mileage 78. It handled like a new car. Ours now drives very close to perfect. Just not there yet. I just might have a slightly bent rear arm. Or as I said. The rear pins FELT good. I need to pull the arms/pins, and mic those parts. ( GREAT. More to take apart ) Thanks again for the wakeup. Bob Dunahugh. 78 Royale

Subject: Dave Lenzi's modified upper A arms to increase caster.
This replacement 78 Royale drives better then our last one. I pulled Dave's knuckles, relay arm, idler arm, and the new steering wheel slip joint out of the burned Royale. Plus the upper A arms that had the offset rubber bushings installed. Already installed the knuckles. Not the relay, idler arm, or slip joint yet. Thinking of putting in the reworked A arms that Dave makes. Caster is extremely important for having the GMC drive perfectly straight. His pair of A frames are about $750. Thinking that I'll order some from his next run later this year. Any input out there? Bob Dunahugh. 78 Royale
