| Vehicle tracks in a slightly sideways or doggie manner while driving at highway speed. front alignment has been checked with no change. vehicle tracks in same way whether loaded or empty of weight. vehicle can be videotaped and easily seen of the problem.. also i have noticed a number of other econolines of same year driving in the same way. lord only knows how many of these vehicles are out there on the highway. this problem can easily place the vhicle in a skid if driven on a slippery or icey roadway since the vehicle is trying to basically go in 2 directions at the same time. please reply with any suggestions, help, or guidance. my inquiry to my dealer was pretty much a waste of time. | |||
