SECTION 3 –
DRIVING YOUR MOTOR HOME
3-14
SUSPENSION ALIGNMENT
AND TIRE BALANCE
The front suspension and steering system of
this vehicle was factory aligned using highly
accurate equipment prior to delivery to the
dealership. However, alignment should be
checked and adjusted after you have fully loaded
the motorhome according to your personal needs.
Thereafter, the alignment should be periodically
inspected to help prevent uneven tire wear.
Any excessive or abnormal tire wear may
indicate worn or misaligned suspension or
steering, unbalanced tire, or other tire/suspension
problem.
Alignment can be affected by worn steering/
suspension parts or by incidents which happen
during driving, such as hitting a curb, pothole, or
railroad track, etc. Improper alignment can cause
tires to roll at an angle and wear unevenly. It may
also cause the vehicle to “pull” to the right or left.
Have your dealer inspect your vehicle’s
suspension and steering components periodically
for misalignment or wear.
Out-of-balance tires will not roll smoothly and
can lead to vibrations and uneven tread wear,
such as cupping and flat spots. Tires may need to
be balanced if uneven wear is detected or if ride
comfort decreases noticeably.
Further Information
See the chassis manual in your InfoCase for
further information.
Make sure all replacement tires are of the
same size and rating as those shown on
your Vehicle Certification Label.
