johntelling Report post Posted October 11, 2009 My 40-foot 2005 Explorer (Spartan MM chassis) has about 2 inches of play in the steering wheel, measured at the edge. I got underneath, and the play is in the shaft going into the steering box. I can easily turn the input shaft from under the coach. There is an audible "clunk" at the end of the play in both directions. I have owned this rig for about two years and have never been comfortable driving it. It seems as if I have to steer, then correct continuously, and it is horrible is cross winds. Do you think that this play is in tolerance, or is it contributing to the overall nasty handling?

wolfe10 Report post Posted October 11, 2009 John, Welcome to the FMCA Forum. What brand is the steering box? Some are adjustable, others are not. I know our Sheppard M100 has no external adjustements. I would contact the steering box manufacturer for their advice. Brett Wolfe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
