Dave's advice is good, I'm sure. I'm not a JD mechanic. But I have a 4020 which, when I got it, could hardly be kept in the road at any kind of speed. The problem was an accumulation of wear in the mechanical joints of the steering system, particularly the steering arms atop the wheel spindles. The previous owner hadn't kept them tight. I replaced the arms and 90% of my problem went away.

Dave, There is really no quick fix to your problem. The real concern here is becareful!! What can happen when theses steering systems are in this need of repair is that it may take you for a unexpected ride for the ditch and result in even bigger problems maybe even death. It has happened. If you are sure your problem is not mechanical related like toe in or worn steering joints the problem then lies within the hydraulic steering system. The first place to check is the condition of the steering motor piston seals. What happens is trapped oil leaks by them allowing the motor to come out of time with the steering valve. When the steering wheel is constantly be corrected for the leaking steering motor the steering valve eventually bottoms out at one end of its travel. When it reaches this point the system recognizes that it is out of time and automatically corrects itself. So if you are driving down the road at high speeds and the steering wheel is being correct to keep it going straight and the steering wheel reaches the end of of its travel be ready for the thrill of your life because the front wheels are going to turn faster toward the ditch than you may be able to correct them back. Take Care Dave Wickman
