Don’t you lift the axles or dump the air on sharp corners?
cke, Jubal Early Times and steve000 Thank this. -
there steer axles i was wondering that as well but they are steer axles

The more weight on them the more side force needed to steer them.
3 straight axle groups tend to push in corners as well, 4 axle groups even more.
The lighter your steer axles are the less push you will feel. Lifting the steering axles as you gear down and adding the air as you straighten out will help with the push a lot. -
