Windsport Steering Wheel Shudder

[Rylar]

Purchased 2011 Windsport 32A with Ford chassis and for the most part am very pleased with the unit. However, on rough highway the steering wheel wants to jump out of my hands at times. Any thoughts on steering dampers etc. to help solve this?

I don't believe there is a solution to that problem, Rylar. I think it is inherent in the front suspension design. It has occurred in my 2010 Hurricane since new and has gotten no better even after at least two alignment and balance checks by excellent technicians. I've lessened the problem somewhat by lowering my front tire pressures to 80 pounds. I've also learned to lift my hands slightly before going over rough road patches or railroad tracks. Now I don't have the wrist aches I used to have after a long day of driving. The steering is perfect in all other ways. It tracks straight with no pull to left or right, and it is always smooth. Have a good day. Komac
