Hi Volks, Over the weekend I had the opportunity to ride behind my Vanagon in another bus. I noticed that the front end appears to be offset to the left. I can see the left side of the Van quite well. The fellows at the GM garage I work at call it 'dog tracking'. They also said it usually caused by a broken leaf spring or center bolt on leaf springed vehicles.. But because the Vanagon has coil springs thay could give me a good reason why (other than it might have been hit). I also noticed that it pulls to the left. My questions are: why is it like this and how do I fix it? I an going to align the front end this week. I just wanted to know if is something I should look for. Any help will be appreicated. Thanks. -Keep on Busin' Jim Digennaro ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ James Digennaro The Late Model Bus Organization,International Treasurer & Merchandise Sales , Official On-line Represenative. 20 First St Adams, MA. 01220 '82 Westfalia 'GTI' E-Mail limbo@bcn.net URL: http://www.bcn.net/~limbo LiMBO Line: (413) 743-1814 "Come out to 'Transporters By The Tunnel' July 19th- 21st, In North Adams, Massachusetts.
