More than likely had something to do with how you R & R'd the
axle/jackshaft assy. If you had the control arms loose, particularly the
upper one, your alignment has a very good chance of being incorrect. You
need all the caster that you can get while still matching what the other
side of the coach has. Camber should be 0° at the correct ride height.
(Both sides). Toe in/out should start at 1/16" toe out. But that varies
with individual coaches. Some like a bit more, some a bit less. Cut and try
it to see if your coach responds.
