    loader arm speed different

    I have a JD 4300. When I take the bucket off the loader arms I notice one arm retracts and extends much slower than the other. I unplugged the quick release plugs and wiped them down (didn't spray with WD40 though). Should I redo that and try again, or other thoughts? Thanks! Les
