Steering play in E350

[Bea_PA]

We have a 2012 24V on a 2011 chassis. We have a lot of wandering and steering seems loose. The unit has 14,000 miles on it. Is this a known problem with this chassis?

Anyone had this issue?

When I replaced my OEM shocks I had my E350 properly aligned and my rig stopped wandering - amazing difference. Not sure whether alignment alone would have resolved the problem - good place to start.

Front caster is a common cause.

Also check your front end weight and tire pressure, and adjust the pressure to be right for the weight. If there's not enough weight on the steer tires, that can be a problem; shifting weight in the RV could help with that. Likewise, if the tires are inflated well above what's needed for the weight, it can make for poor, imprecise handling.

Too little front end +caster will manifest itself as loose steering (and wandering) at highway speeds.

Here is my experience with the issue circa 2010
