Posted on pirate but figured i would ask the guys "in the know". Having some issues with my full hydro. At KOH i noticed my steering had started to act funny. Pulling away from me at times and not having the control that i should. I used to be able to drive on the street and have complete control over the buggy. Today i took it down the road and it seems I have a good bit of play in the steering. Talked to PSC and im going to be sending my orbital back for them to look at, but figured i would give you guys a crack at it first. BTW, so far PSC has had amazing service and been nothing but helpful. This is a 2.5 turns lock to lock orbital with a 8" stroke ram. Here is a video to show you what im talking about.

This is while the buggy IS running, but you can feel the play when it is off as it seems to move fluid in the orbital.

It is the orbital, mine was doing the same thing. Even on parked ground you could turn the wheel a little and it would continue in that direction. And if it was ok before then I would think this is your issue.
