:-D It is GREAT to see fellow SS-Members look out for each other!! :-D [thumbzup] :mrgreen: [thumbzup] :driver: :jumpin:

Unfortunately this isn't an easy item to spot on a normal inspection. Unless you are willing to jack the truck up, as you just did. Don't be too discouraged! Shouldn't be too difficult to fix! Get it torn apart & see how bad it is before you spend a bunch of $$ on parts. Suggest...

"Gringeltaube" I think we are in agreement that the springpack bearings are the source of the problem here. For the record I never suggested he replace the dogbones. (I only suggested he check them, especially before I saw the pics of the spring pack misalignment.) I was only pointing out that...

I was referring to the axle misalignment during tight cornering. Not misalignment of the spring pack. By design (clearance of the spring ends to the axle pockets, and flexibility of the rubber dogbone ends) some lateral movement of the axles would be permitted. This lateral movement would be...

Interesting Pics! These seem to agree with the symptom of the front tandem axle being biased to the left & the rear tandem axle to the right. & yes, these spring seat pivot bushings might be worn. But I'm not sure what the normal/acceptable amount of play in these bushings is. Suggest you...

"SCSG-G4" If you look at "Happyland1410"'s pictures it is the axles that are misaligned (as shown clearly in the 1st picture), but the springs appear to still be straight. The front tandem axle is clearly biased to the left (relative to the other axle & the spring pack), while the rear tandem...

:ditto: Check the Torque-Rods (aka "dog-bones") for sloppiness as outlined in this PM. In addition, I'd get in a big parking lot & make a tight LH circle then check the axle positions. THEN I'd make a tight RH circle and check the axle positions again to see if they shifted to the other...
