That is interesting, I wonder why you removed it? even if it helped a little bit. I wrote to safe-t-plus yesterday and they write back this:
"Your 1988 Newell motorhome on a straight axle (not independent front suspension) will require our Safe-T-Plus Steering Control Model 41-230 (Blue unit). In addition, you will need our G-002K2 mounting hardware kit. "
I have no idea if I have a straight axle or independent suspension.
I do have a lot of play on my steering wheel and I have the feeling that I'm not controlling the position of the coach at any time, just correcting it all the time, I thought that this thing will kill two birds with one stone, help with the constant correction of the steering wheel but above all give me control in the case of a front tire blow out.
I've read the post you've made about this issue "Play in Steering Gear" and it might be a good idea for me to take a look at that bearing at the end of the column and see if that corrects it and make me feel that I have more control of the steering wheel.
