Erratic drive on turning

I have an Linde e30 336 with erratic drive when turning, I have replaced drive contacts which were burnt and sticking, this improved the problem the Acc pot wasn't reading all across range so have replaced this, but customer still complains of ticking noise on certain lock(full) and no drive just sits there rocking, have carried out full battery test and doesn't drop under load any guidance would be helpfull

Or failing that
Jack up the machine and check that both drive motors are working
Could be only driving in one and when U turn one slows down and the other speeds up

I would say you have a steer potentiometer problem
Check pot and calibrate
Or replace pot and calibrate
