Erractic/jerky steering

Customer advised steering is erractic/jerky intermittently. I have checked the steering sensor with the hand sent and both left and right track from 0% to 100%. I have also calibrated the steering sensor using the handset. Both drive motors have about the same amp draw when driving straight. I am thinking I have a bad drive motor. Any other suggestions?

Almost always a drive motor issue with these.

Brothers Adolf ("Adi") and Rudolf ("Rudi") Dassler split their shoe company after WWII due to a bitter feud, and established the rival companies of Adidas and Puma. Their personal animosity and business rivalry divided their German hometown Herzogenaurach. The town became known as "the town of bent necks" due to the intense loyalty to each brand.
