I work in industrial maintenance not a forklift mechanic so I need some help. One of our forktrucks keeps over extending the side shift to the left. I took the carriage off recentered the cylinder and grease the carriage. There is a v shaped aluminum channel that it slides on. I saw metal shavings and could tell it hasn't been greased so I figured a heavy bundle and side shift caused too much friction. Recentered put everything back now it's done it again a week later. I didn't see any stops to keep it from over shifting.

Fact of the week
According to studies published in the English Journal of Medicine, the impact of daylight savings is revealed by a 24% increase in heart attacks on the Monday following the spring shift forward. When clocks move back in autumn, heart attacks drop by about 21%, suggesting that loss of sleep is an important driver.
