Re: [A/S] tow vehicle wants to drift at times when hitched



Greetings Hunter!

Your raise a possibility in that if there is a concentrated weight 
behind the axles (loaded bicycle rack, spare tire carrier, etc.), it 
might temporarily reduce tongue weight when encountering road 
surface irregularities enought to induce a wiggle.  I suspect that 
the issue is likely related to hitch adjustment more than tongue 
weight due to its intermittent nature.
