Burden Carrier hard to steer
We have a 36 volt burden carrier, We drive it to deliver parts from one side of the building to the other, it is super hard to steer, We had out maintance guy look at it and he replaced the power steering box, we got a reman one straight from cushman, we installed and and it feels a bit better but still very hard to steer, what can we do? or what else can i check?

Re: Burden Carrier hard to steer
Hello and welcome to fixaforklift.com!! 
I have had this exact issue and taken the same steps, I lifted the truck up and disconnected the connecting rod going to the opposite side of the wheel, i tried to manually turn the steering knuckle and it was very hard at turning, the inside bushing had seized and rusted out, it should move side to side freely, they do make a repair kit for it but it is much less of a hassle if you order the complete spindle and install, it comes with all the bushings all you have to do is remove and replace along with greasing the zerk fitting!
