Lift jumps or drops

When the tilt or side shift is moved the lift drops or jumps up I resealed the lift cylinders but found there was no piston packing on the center cylinder just wear rings. second cylinder had bad piston packing. Checked all the solenoids and diodes. When there is weight on forks this jumping is a lot worse.

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.
