Does anybody have any idea. My rear end of the truck (tractor unit) feels like it’s drifting when I go round corners or turn side to side when driving. It’s only just started doing it this afternoon. I’m thinking wheel alignment but wondering if anybody has had a similar issue in the past and has any other ideas? Cheers

Might be worth checking the rear tyres for grip. some low budget tyres once reach to a a level can start causing this. i had the same issue with an actros. Lodge tyres suggested changing tyres and it worked.

I would say a broken spring on the rear

Have you actually had a look around the unit???
A flat tire or broken spring could be a number of things

course I’ve looked around it and under it. Cant see anything obvious, tyres look fine, springs look fine, bushes look fine

I’ve checked them they seem fine and no obvious signs of movement

Load sensor

Load sensor

surely that’d throw an error code up?

Well If it has the same rear suspension as the Volvo FH, I would check, the v stay bars over the top of rear axles, sometimes the ball joints wear and also once I've had the actual bar crimp come apart

New tyres?

[gazacom]

New tyres?

no they’re about a year or two old

[BraPinch]

Would bet a broken spring

Diff lock on

Lift axle up??

[gazacom]

Lift axle up??

does it while up or down. Handles better when loaded. But empty feels like I’m driving on ice
