| When I bought my bus and towed it home last year it was a breeze driving 70mph, but now I can’t go over 50mph without it shaking my Expedition so bad it feels like I’m going to lose control. Any thoughts on what may be causing the shaking? There is some play in the steering wheel, but not too bad….I don’t tow very often…. It’s a 71’ deluxe, I'm using a bus tow bar..... :?: |

| Is it out of gear? Is your trailer hitch loose. Did you pile weight in it or shift the weight balance like maybe put an engine in it? |

| Have you checked the front suspension of the Expedition? |

| Jack it and spin the wheels. Maybe you have a locked up brake. |

How is the steering mechanism on the towed bus? I had this happen when the knuckle that holds the tie rod arms to the front beam was failing.
If there is slop there, it can be transmitted to the tow vehicle. |
