wandering
I have a 91 Ford E250 RB Sportmobile. I replaced the steering box 5 years ago,(about 50,000 mi) which improved the wandering alot. The van has started wandering more lately. I travel to Baja in the winters and carry 2 kayaks weighing about 150lbs more or less, so I know that weight up high can't help. I drive bad roads alot and am amazed at what those van can do. I looked at the steering box and it has about 1/16" play where the shaft exits the box. I bought another rebuilt box and right on the end of the shaft they had a label that said the shaft will have lateral movement and will not be the cause of wandering., so I returned it. Anybody no if 1/16" is too much? The van doesn't wander badly but I would like it to be the best possible, to make driving easier and safer. I put a helwig rear stabalizer bar on this year, which I like for sway. I run 60-70 psi and weigh in at 7100lbs. Thanks for any input, Lance
