Just purchased 2014 Sunseeker 2650s 2,000 miles new. Had alignment set to caster +5 on both sides one more than the other to compensate for road crown. I continue to have one inch of steering wheel play. Many say that is normal, had 2009 GMC 2500 Van for 15 years, 200,000miles no real wheel play. Will Saf T plus or Roadmaster or other stablizer decrease this significantly or is it just the old design steering box normal. All help appreciated. Many thanks.

To reduce the wander problem I had the toe in set to max toe in within specs, major difference. CHF and proper air pressure did wonders for steering and handling.

Has anyone made adjustments to the steering box? I understand many miles might require it, will it reduce static steering wheel free play without binding?
