We drove to Eugene, OR. Spent time with Kaiser Alignment and Brake (KAB)
- First step was full inspection; several parts had too much play and needed to be replaced (the tie rod end and pitman arm connector). The parts including front and rear Roadmaster Sway bars were ordered with delivery the next morning. For the night, KAB had a 30A plugin available for me, we parked it, fired up the TV, had dinner and got a great nights sleep. The next day, parts arrived, parts installed, alignment performed, test drive accomplished, minor adjustments done, one more test drive and job complete.
The handling is now unbelievable, fingertips, you can even let go and it tracks straight, steering wheel is centered, hard turns don't give the feeling of wanting to roll over. Driving through the winding roads of coastal Oregon has become a much more pleasant endeavor. We have not had an opportunity to drive in any high winds yet, however, actually looking forward to see how it handles. We arrived KAB at 1pm and left at 5pm the next day...
