Hi all- back again with some questions. Always had great help from you all so maybe you can give me some insight on this one. Working on a Komatsu D20AG dozer and its having problems steering to one side. Checked all the fluid levels and they are good. Pulled the plate on floor and was looking around. Was checking the operation of steering levers and noticed that on the left and right cylinders, that its pulling one out more than the other. First pic is both, then second and third pic show either side pulled all the way out. One pulls out of the cylinder, the other diesnt. Could this be why its not working on one side? Maybe theres an adjustment? Any advice greatly appreciated.

Problem solved! Went ahead and gave the rods some adjustment and seems to work fine now.
