Killer Buses - 2006 forum discussion about buses crabbing

Link to forum...

From this forum is the statement "Apart from premature tyre wear, and a 2.5m wide vehicle using 2.7-2.9m of roadspace to drive in a straight line"

Another post states "Workshops are aware of the problem and if noticed will act apon it however, to clear the problem up, drivers will need to do the right thing and book buses off if they themselves are aware of a crabbing issue. Once again, it will take a concerted effort on behalf of all who work in the industry."

There is another thread here

in 2009, a poster said "I have noticed this with NL202's as well. Crabbing is generally caused by a misalignment of the front and rear axles, that is, they are not both tracking in the same straight line."
