I bought my 1997 30 foot Sahara in 2003 and any driving over 65 mph or semi trucks passing me was enough to cause me to fear for my life. I began a 5 year mission to fix the steering/handling of my leaf spring chassis. I replaced the shocks. Replaced and tightened the sway bar bushings (front and rear) including increasing the the size of bolts on the front sway bar (after one broke). I added a custom air activated steer-safe system. I replaced the original tires with ones that are over an inch wider. Had a front end alignment. Started traveling with extra fresh water that put weight on the front end. I added an aluminum box on the front of the rig for heavy items to put weight in front of the axle. I even added individually controlled air bags that stiffened the frame. These changes improved the handling but I was still subject to large trucks or high side winds that would push and pull me around. Finally I realized that I had to stop the YAW motion of the coach. I have now added custom chassis to house frame supports both sideways, and front to rear that has finally given me the control Ive wanted. I got the idea when I saw the systems that are made for gas rigs (Davis tru-track steering stabilizer). You can look it up on the internet.
Heavier rigs with longer wheelbases don't have this serious a problem. However, even with my short wheel base I now enjoy driving my rig and get good handling even at 70 mph. (I usually drive 65 mph on interstates but can drive safely faster if I need to pass traffic).
I listed this for anyone who is having serious steering problems and has already made certain that the steering components are not in need of repair and is willing put in the time and money to make driving their coach safer and more enjoyable.

I am going to check the steering U joints and go from Bilsteins to Konis, I guess this is the last option.

On the way to Oregon, by way of New Mexico, I stopped by the Safe Steer place, and after talking with them, decided I needed to buy their product. Drive it to Oregon and if you don't like it, ship it back and we'll refund your money. OK, I had them give me a box.

You could turn the bolts with your fingers. I put a pair of vice grips on the steering shaft and could turn it but the input shaft to the sector box did not turn.

I want to install one before I head to FL right after the 1st of the year with the expectation that it will minimize some of the white knuckle driving that I experienced in the high winds between GA & VA on the way north last March. I'm leaning towards the Steer Safe which appears to be less of a challenge to adjust but appreciate any opinions / input.
