steering drift?

gray · Feb 19, 2004

i am getting part of the picture here. Just a bit more info. may help.

Going down the road, in about 2000ft I am turning the wheel one revolution to keep it tracking straight. The cylinder looks good. It has done this from day one- or two.
Never noticed much of anything while digging or loading. The wheel never returns to the same place.

Any more info would be helpfull. Thanks.

At about 70 hrs. my BX 2200 did the same thing. I had to keep turning right to keep it straight. Dealer replaced the cylinder.

The answer may lie in do you have to steer up the crown in the road? Is the drift always the same direction? If it is always the same direction it is most likely the valve. If you don't correct the steering and it always just wants to go downhill on the crown of the road it is likely the cylinder.

Ken,

I haven't driven it for a few months and am trying to recall the actions. I think it drifts either way depending on the slop of the road.

Valve or cylinder?

thanks.
