Drive Unit getting "stiff"
I have an SPX-5R Drive System. It is only about 2 1/2 years old. It works fine but...... when in "standby" mode my steering seems to be getting harder and harder to turn. It is better in the cool of the morning but as the day goes on and it gets warmer AND as I have used it more the steering gets "stiff". ALSO.....when it is "stiff" there is noise coming from the drive unit (in standby mode only) when I am turning.......sounds like a "dry binding noise"...like a hinge would make if it wasn't lubricated.Can I lubricate the unit somehow? Will that fix it? OR do I need to send it somewhere to have some maintenance done? Is this a "known" problem?See More
