While driving the 85 Regal, P32, 28', the last couple of days, I noticed the steering to be sort of 'light'. I differentiate 'light' from 'loose'. Previous owner had replaced one bell crank and it has a Bilstein steering stabilizer. Tires are Goodyears at 70psi, the minimum recommended by Goodyear for my size. Front air bags are 60# and rear air bags are 70#. Can you adjust the steering some way to make it a little heavier? To keep it in a straight line requires a good bit of attention and a fair amount of steering wheel correction. I've never had it aligned since tire wear seems to be good. Front GAWR is 5000# and I'm right at that. Rear GAWR is 10000# and I'm a little less than that with a full load of fuel and water. Would appreciate any help.

P30s respond to a lot of camber. The factory specs specify more camber for the motor home than for bread trucks.

As far as your air bag pressures, they don't mean much. As the springs sag, more air pressure is required, so a pressure that was right a while back is now too low. Air your fronts to a bump stop clearance of 1 3/4 to 2 1/2. Aim toward the high side of that range if your bumpers look a little collapsed or tipsy.

The rear ride height is correct when the frame rail is level when sitting on level ground. My rear springs are so saggy that I use Hellwig LP-35 adjustable helpers in addition to the Air Lift bags.

Every spring, once you get your heights right, you can use the same pressure settings all summer.

A Steersafe or Safe T Steer helps centering, too. I am told they really make a difference when a front tire blows. Fortunately, no experience there.

Jim, I installed SteerSafe three years ago and have been very pleased with the difference it made. An elephant-trap looking device with various levers, fulcrums & springs, it is an
easy DIY install - about 45 minutes per side.

I LUV the way it tracks, and steering wheel feedback seems just right for me. If tracking is off a little, it's just a matter of a couple turns tighter on the spring on one side and an equal loosening on the other side.

It's touted as a real control help on blow-outs....So far, I can't advise on that

If there's a negative, I suspect that the system might mask or hide potential problems growing in other areas of the steering mechanism, but that's only an uneducated guess on my part.

It won't cure or correct pre-existing alignment issues....it'll just make a good set-up feel even better.

Lee, I discovered that in addition to needing to install the drivers side bell crank, both front shocks and the steering stabilizer were el-cheapos. So, have ordered Bilsteins to replace all, new air bags for front and dropped tire pressure to 65# which is what Goodyear now says I should have had all the while. We'll see what that does. Also, heard of something called 'Safety Plus' that really tightens up the steering but it's quite expensive--over $500 plus labor. We'll see what the other stuff does first. Thanks for the tip.
