Steven,

I have seen the steer orbital fail and cause the steering to pull to one side. Jack steer axle of the ground and turn wheel until tires are straight. Start lift and slowly turn the wheel to the directions the operator stated to see if it takes off. May need to replace orbital, maybe operator? Good Luck

The hard to do we do right away. The impossible just takes a little longer.

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
