BX25 Steering issue

[Flienlow]

I have some play in my steering assembly. Not sure if this is normal or not. I noticed it the other day futzing around. When I attempted video to document it was a lot less noticeable, but still present. It was difficult to film and shake tire at same time.

Watched your video & couldn’t really tell, could see some movement. You may want to check on a rebuild kit for steering cylinder, about $33.00 (K2511-16600). There is a part called an end cap (K2511-16510), not sure if this could be worn to allow some play. Hope this helps some.

It's semi normal it's the way the cylinder is attached to the front axle, there is no solid connection, just a couple snap rings that hold it in place , and those snap ring just bump into the plates on the ends.

Now if the plates have been bent or the bolts are loose that will cause more play in it.

Thank you both. I will check those bolts.
