Any feedback on the MCU's? Many recommend them but I am skeptical, I think they are saying its only applies to rear due to the Palazzo only having a single rear ride height valve and therefore the bags are connected to each other, vs the front that have two ride height valve, one for each wheel. The MCU's should slow down air transfer from one side to the other which should help "Walmart Wobble" but not sure if it would have any effect on highway driving which I primarily concerned with. If they can reduce sway, which they might, it could help but also contribute to a harsher ride, similar to Sumo springs on a gas MH. Some have complained of a harsher ride with MCU's, which again makes sense as they would basically reduce the working volume of the bags.
Mine is driving much better, but there is still some wander requiring constant micro corrections. The steering seems to track well for a while then grab one side or the other and track left or right randomly.
Wind and gust are a contributer for sure, and only so much that can be done with the large side surface area and short wheel base. It does seem better than my gas MH most of the time, but seems to have a little more random quality, where it decides to wander unexpectedly.
I did take some slop out of my Ready Brute tow bar as some of the bolts were wallowing things out after many miles. Tightening them and adding a steel washer on one. Seemed to help, also having de-rattlers keeping the hitch raise and tow bar connections tight. This always helps and I forget about tow bar slop after a while, definitely causes the Jeep to wander and make the MH wander some.
I did check toe and mine seems to be pretty good at 3/16" in, which is a lot, normally more toe in tracks center better at the expense of tire wear, but I am wondering if its cause the random wander as weight shifts back and forth.
Really need to get a 4 corner weigh, other have posted Palazzo's being unbalanced with more weight on one side vs other, this could potentially be mitigated with some careful ride height adjustment. Also I think it generally light on the front axle which could contribute as well.
