Not to take the post off-topic but if you have always had a left correction to the steering you should have gotten that corrected first. I know you say "no matter what I have done to correct it" but a mandatory steering correction is bad. You should be able to let go of the steering wheel on flat level pavement and travel at least 1/4 mile or so without touching the wheel again.
Alignment was checked numerous times, tires checked, ride height, air suspension, weighed 4 corners and aired per loading chart. New shocks ( Koni's) and suspension checked over. All within specs. Now the actual "ride" has significantly improved. The pull is still there. Mostly going down the freeway. So I've accepted the crown in the road argument is my issue. Most my driving is highway. You don't think that constant correction is a problem. But I know it has tired me out at the end of a long haul. And if your not paying attention it could get you in trouble.
This is going to help with that, and a peace of mind if I have a tire failure.
I never said I didn't say or imply that that constant correction was not a problem. It obviously is an should be corrected. Maybe the specs you have to the alignment is wrong or maybe there is another issue but the coach simply should not pull to one side. If it is the crown on the road it would pull right in the right lane and pull to the left in the left lane. Most Interstate highways do not have enough of a crown to cause a pull in either direction (maybe an ever so slight drift).
I had been having tire wear issues on my Prevost for many years and I had tie rods replaced and a truck shop alignment center in Nashville, TN straighten everything up. Now life is good.
