2002 HR Endeavor 40. Have changed all 8 shocks to Bilstein and love the improved ride etc. Overall, it drives nice, steering is tight and reactive. However, coach seems to have developed a pull to the left over the last 12K miles that has gotten a bit worse. Have checked tire PSI's. Have not checked toe; what else? And please, don't tell me to read the 101 page post, I want to hear about my specific problem and coach. Thanks in advance, TB

In 122 thousand miles the tires may show some unusual tire wear, check with your eyes, also check by rubbing your hand across the threads to see if you have sharo edges in one direction and not the other. A dozen things can cause pulling. I'd suggest an alignment ,doing so will pick up bad tires, and worn parts . Cheap insurance to save expensive tires.

Does it pull to the left only when braking?
If so it might suggest a brake pad issue?
Just a thought.

Air leveling?

A quick way to see if it is a tire problem is to swap the two front tires with each other. Then go drive it. It may go straight or it may go left if it is a tire problem. If no change, an alignment check would be the next step.

I had exactly the same symptom on my 2002 Dynasty equipped with an HWH air levelling system. If you have air levelling, it could be slightly out of adjustment, but still give you a "travel" light. Again, if you have an HWH system, air up, then take a tape and measure ground up to the top of the wheel wells all around. If those measurements are the same side to side, it's not the air levelling. However, if you notice a difference side to side of more than a couple inches, especially in the front, your HWH system needs adjustment by a technician. In that case, you can have someone help you to manually adjust the side to side height.; then drive. You may find that slight pull is gone.

Good luck.

Do not have air leveling. RR8R, no tag. Michelin tires, 4 years old. Any suggestions on where to have 4 wheel alignment in Tacoma Wa. area?
Thanks for all, TB

Had same problem with Goodyear tires at 25k. Had alignment, spec were perfect. Switched front tires, pulled to the right. Have that done before alignment. If pull reverses, replace front tires.
