    Narrowed Beam

    I actually don’t particularly like the look of narrowed beam and always thought it have a negative affect on handling, now I know it does! Why would you spend money on something that makes things worse?? We lowered ours modestly partly due to liking the stance and partly because it improves...

    Narrowed Beam

    I am curious, I see a lot of buses with narrowed front beams, do people do it because they like the look / stance? Is there any driving or handling benefits from narrowing as in my mind I think it would make the drive less stable?

    Weird noise from hubcap

    Replaced split pins twice as it sounded like that was the noise, it wasn’t. It was the hub caps - I too did not believe it, it didn’t seem possible that it could be just the caps but it definitely was and we went through everything else first.

    Weird noise from hubcap

    I had this exact problem, a rattle at low speeds and a noise when you push the bus. After replacing the drive shafts and having the gearbox rebuilt, and the brakes replaced it was still there. I then drove it with no hubcaps the sound was gone. I found that when the hubcaps were stretched over...
