steering creeping

STEERING IS WORKING.

Have it all sorted out, pulled the steering valve and did not even open it up. the two set screws for the bypass were uneven, one had about two complete turns out from the other. I tightened them both down and backed them out half a turn, so the bypass would still function. Put it all back together, and VIOLA everything works the way it should. No drift and no steering wheel turning past the locks. Alot of time, and only cost of rebuilding the two steering cylinders that definatly needed it.

I have a similar issue going on in a 924g cat. Im going to look into this and see if the issue can be resolved in a similar fashion.

Do not attempt to open the orbital valve unless you have done so before.....
There are to many combinations that will mess you up....please take care....

Ah i aint to worried about that. I have a good enough working knowledge on the sytems and have resources/personnel to draw from if i surpass that. And most importantly i pay attention to what im doing. Thank you for the info though. Will proceed with extra dilligence. If i ever get time...
