THOR #3123
Steering Wheel Bounce and Shimmy

Just got back from a 7000 mile trip to the west coast and back in our 2016 ACE 27.1. The motorhome performed very well, no significant problems. The only annoyance was the constant hand massage I received trying to hold onto the steering wheel. We stopped half way and got the tires re-balanced and alignment checked with no improvement. Once home I had a set of Centramatic wheel balancers installed front and back. I noticed a significant improvement but still have to find a "sweet spot" speed to drive where the shaking is minimal. I would be interested to hear from anyone who has experienced a similar issue and found a solution.

I have installed a rear sway bar, front steering dampener, and Sumo Springs front and back.
