While driving the motorhome, be aware of any changes in the feel of steering
and have the system checked if there are any apparent differences. It is normal to
hear some hydraulic noise from the steering, especially when the steering is at
maximum or while turning the wheel when the motorhome is not moving.
Investigate any unusual or loud noises that occur. Begin by checking the hydraulic
fluid level. Traveling at slow speeds over rough surfaces may cause a "clanking"
noise to emanate from the steering column, but if noise is heard on smooth
surfaces while turning back and forth sharply, the noise should be inspected and
repaired as necessary.
Shimmy and looseness should be checked and corrected as soon as possible. If
looseness is felt in the steering, the steering linkages can be observed while
someone turns the steering wheel left and right. Watch the linkages for any evident
play or uneven interaction between components to help pinpoint a problem. Have
the steering system checked for damage after a severe impact, such as striking
large potholes or curbs, and front-end collisions. Observe the alignment of the
steering wheel spokes; a change in the alignment may indicate damage to the
steering components or suspension.
Camber:
Camber, as shown, is vertical tilt of wheel as viewed from the front of the vehicle.
This is machined into the axle when manufactured and is not adjustable.
• “
Positive
” camber is an outward tilt of the wheel at the top.
• “
Negative
” camber is an inward tilt of the wheel at the top.
