I've started to notice a bit of jerking with the steering in full lock either left or right, coming from the rear. Slowly been getting worse, and took the time today to look into it.
After getting it up on blocks and working the steering, it appears the inner rear wheel has a looseness to it when the steering is fully turned. This causes it to over steer. It can be either wheel....the left on left turns, the right on right turns. The opposite rear wheel will not have the same slop to it. I bought this 425 used some years back, has 708 hours on it. , and have never had to do any adjustment etc to the steering. Best I can determine, it just has slop in the linkage once it gets to a full turn. It has adjustments to all the linkage, but I cannot figure out what should be adjusted, especially since you turn the steering the opposite way and the slop moves to the other wheel.
Anyone with ideas how to fix this?
