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
Construction of the Sydney Opera House became so costly that the New South Wales government introduced a series of public lotteries to raise the funds needed to continue. A total of 496 lotteries and 86.7 million tickets raised $102 million between 1957 and 1986.
