We had an '02 32-footer on the F53 chassis. On the way home from collecting it from the private owner from whom we'd bought it, I was really concerned about the "wandering".
Our post-delivery check-out revealed that the tires (Goodyears) dated back to the chassis manufacture date and were 9 years old. My first expenditure was at Les Schwab for a set of 6 Toyos. They did an alignment also and the shop manager mentioned having done slightly more caster than the box-truck specs. He owned an F-53 MH. It drove well ever after, no obvious wandering, no drama.
Just remember that it drives like a box truck because it IS one. A Rolls-Royce grade of ride comfort is not achievable.
