Yeah the 05-07 visions have a wobble to them , I pulled a tanker with a 06 vision 70 in. bunk , not as stable as a 1998 vision . And the 1998 vision felt pushy , compared to an older ch613 they feel like a train so stable. I drove late 70,s and 80,s R models , those were tough trucks . And a old 2 stick , 08 macks are supposed to be better .

I have had the same problem twice now. I drive a 2004 Mack Vision Day cab. All of a sudden the steering got loose and only under a load. I go over many bad roads like the Staten Island Expressway with a billion pot holes you cannot avoid. Its like a delay in the steering. The mechanic fixed it the first time by tightening something around the King Pin area. I don't know exactly what he did, but it worked. After about 6 months of harsh beating the front end up, I experienced the delay in the steering again. At least I'm not the only one with this problem.
