steering cylinder question

phillipd · Dec 6, 2008

Hi,a seal blew on the steering cylinder on our Kubota M8200 this summer and when we had it apart noticed that the ram was pitted quite badly so had a local machine shop make one up for it.Finally got around to having it replaced this week and the steering doesn't seem to hold very well.There are no fluid leaks and am just figuring it's air still in the lines.I remember before when it was apart that it was like that for abit,but don't remember it taking this long to work it out.Should I try to remove the air somehow,or just leave it be for now?It can still be used no problem,just the steering is very drify.Thanks,pd.

Perhaps the Cylinder is also pitted and has worn out your new seals , or the seals were damaged during installation . The air is bled out the first time you turn from stop to stop.
