Another good way to check the arms for damage is to set the loader down on the ground as you normally would when parked on level ground. Use a tape measure and measure pin centers ie; center of the main arm pin on the mounting to the bucket pivot pin of the bucket. do this on each side and write them down. raise the bucket and measure across the loader arms kitty corner from the bucket pin on one corner to the main pin on the other corner and vs a vs. The arm pin to pin measurement should be close to the same, or one of the arms is buckled (likely the one with the shorter measurement). If the cross measurement is not close to the same, the frame work is likely twisted or knocked out of 'square'. If these measurements are ok. Take a hard close look at the bucket for twisting. At any rate inspect to whole rig for cracks or loose joints. With a load in the air is not a good time to find out you have a cracked arm or a disjointed mounting. If your not sure what your looking for, you must have somebody local that does. Don't be proud here, These can be more dangerous than useful if they are not right.
