Morning Steve and Troy and all esle who stop by.
Jay, That steering stabilizer may be the issue. When I say wander, it is when I hit a bump or pot hole. The truck jumps and moves over. The steering is almost to tight. Any little movement and you are off one direction or the other. Everything appears tight, but I will check that steering stabilizer. This weekend may not have been the best indicator with all the wind, but it still may be those crappy Goodyear tires that came from Sam's club. Should have changed out all four to Firestone Tansforce.

Morning Lee!
My steering stabilizer did absolutely nothing it was like pushing in the toilet paper holder tube, no resistance, when I put the new one on it was a night and day difference! I put on the KYB OEM, ran me about 36 bucks at the local parts store.

Morning Jay and Lee!!
Lee what you describe about your stabilizer makes sense to me! Jumping over when you a pothole sounds like it to me. I would try replacing that first or at least check it out.

Afternoon all.
Does anybody need a good lawnmower?
It is not one of mine, but the owner at work. He has a 12hp Toro rider and a 21" Toro walk behind. They are in very nice shape, and about 8 years old. He has not used for last three years, and only used them on a little lot in town. They run and work very well, any even come with extra blades. Wonder why.
He asked me to get rid of them for him, so thought I would ask if anyone needed one.
I would not sell one of the ones I am getting rid of to someone I know. They are kind of junk.
