340 utility steering help

Mark W. · Jun 23, 2017

My 340 utility has power steering. It has developed a very shaky front end even at slow speeds. Both wheels flutter left to right at a high rate even when driving slow. Any thoughts appreciated.

In order of contribution to the issue:
Bad drag link ball ends.
Bad spindle bearings on the vertical (not wheel bearings)
Bad steering arm to spindle connection.
Bad steering gear box.
Bad wheel bearings.
Some of these or all of these can be involved. Jim

I have also seen where play develops in the splined connection between the steering arm and the kingpin/shaft.

I had a 340U for awhile that was used in loader service for round bales....there were quite a few issues with the steering.
