Hello - I returned a few weeks ago from my very 1st trip in my 1977 Eleganza. Pretty nice time up to Maine and back to Pa via Rhode Island. The coach has had many owners and they all put a lot of care and new parts into it along the way. My main complaint is a loose steering road feel at highway speeds. A lot of 1970's steering corrections were required- not a very comfortable feel.
Is this just normal for a 1977 designed front end? Where might I look to firm things up?

Many Thanks for any suggestions.
