2005 Newmar Northern Star suspension

Anyone out there have a wheel alignment issue with their freightliner suspension.
The problem I have is that when driving you are constantly at the steering. It feels like something is loose and moving. When you start into a corner the front end feels like it starts to come around, then is wants to drift as if going straight. You pull it around more, and then suddenly whatever is moving has reached full travel and then it comes around nicely. Once out of the corner you ahve to be right on the steering again. I had some one come up to me after I stopped, and informed me that the unit was dog tracking to the right serverly. I got some help, ran a tale from rear axle tot eh front axle both sides and have a 35mm difference. The right or passenger side is 35mm greater distance than the drivers side. Unit only has 58 klm, so find it hard to believe things are wore out that much to get 35 mm difference. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Any vehicle can get the alignment out of adjustment. I'd look for a local shop that can handle alignment on a chassis that large. If they do alignments they can probably also do repairs or at least diagnosis.
