Re: Alignment Advice

We have an appointment at FOT for Monday, January 17. Two of the primary tasks are to install Koni FSDs all around, and perform ALL WHEEL alignment. I will probably post my impressions of the changes wrought by those services.
Our coach has pulled to the right since we bought it last April. We installed new tires in NAC and had an alignment done in Lufkin at the first service. There was no change in the pulling. I called the alignment shop three times to ask about what he did and what I should expect. He never returned a call. I will not be returning to that shop. I decided to see if the factory can fix the issue.
The pull to the right is slight, but constant. It hastens fatigue from driving. I expect one of the axles, probably the rear, is slightly misaligned. There appears to considerable room for adjustment of the rear axle in its mounting harness.
I added Safe-T-Plus with Henderson's trim kit to another coach. It was a great improvement and allowed setting the neutral steering point from the driver's seat. There were some steering and stability issues on the SOB coach. However, I prefer not to add the Safe-T-Plus on the FT for two reasons. 1) There is not a trim kit for the FT chassis. Adding it would require custom fabrication. 2) If the FT is aligned probably at all wheel positions, the steering characteristics should be excellent.
