Steering wheel angle while towing
Just picked up a 2007 Nash 27E. Noticed on the drive home the same steering wheel "problem" I had with a prior trailer. Wondering if anyone has ever seen this? It seems like with the trailer hooked...

Then how do you explain the same result on my Dual Cam system? Like I said I`ve learned to live with it. it used to bug me, but not anymore.......at least until someone brought it up now! :B
Did you have problems with it pulling to both sides? Or just one? A lot of a older rigs would pull one way due to ride height, because of the steering geometry. But IFS with rack-and-pinion shouldn't be affected by ride height.
Bryan. No, the wheel is always down slightly to the left. Around 11:30 position. And it doesn't pull, the wheel is just off! Annoying, but nothing bad. The trailer tires wear evenly as do the truck tires. I think it's just the weight on the rear axle pushing the truck to one side.
That pretty much eliminates the hitch as the cause. Which is good or bad depending on your point of view.
It still could be something as a minor axle alignment issue or something more like a dragging brake or tight bearing etc.
