Bill, I'm not sure what all you replaced. Are you saying you DID replace the steering shaft? I suppose you did replace all the other mentioned items?
Was that sarcasm about getting help from Kioti? Sounds like it, but it's not clear.
I'm happy to hear you got it all done. Were you able to tell exactly which of the parts was the culprit, or was it all of them.
Thanks, John
