A Happy Camper, took our new to us 2014 Jayco Precept with less than 4000 miles to Precision Frame & Alignment in Elk River MN in hopes that something could be done to tame the bob and weave. Was afraid during the test drive Dick would utter those words I feared "This is as good as it gets". It was close, he stated " yes, typical Ford handling" GASP!! Noooooo, then he sez "there are a few minor things we can do to improve the handling."
It now has road manners! It no longer wanders from shoulder to left lane, So Very Happy! Took about 90 minutes and cost about the price of a full tank of gasoline. He aligned the front end, apparently it was a bit "pigeon toed" greased King Pins and tightened the Stabilizer bars by moving them to the other position Ford provides. It was a delight to drive home.
Thanks to the great wise people on RV.net I found this place. I learn so much from you, this was an easy, affordable fix to a problem that created a great deal of fear and a bit of ownership remorse. Now I need to get busy planning some outings. :B

Did you get a computer printout of the alignment when done. If so, it would be interesting to see it posted------------or the final toe-in and caster settings for each front wheel.

We just had our mechanic move the bars to the other position as well, and can't wait to get it back on the highway for a test drive. Glad your experience was positive!

Dang right monies well spent.
