Manitou TMT 55 — Truck Mounted Forklift — Steering Jumping/Grinding

Lee_in_Georgia ยท 2026-08-14 17:23

This forklift makes a scraping noise when turning the steering wheel and you can feel the steering cylinder jumping/bumping too. It does this especially bad when mounted on the delivery truck with the steer wheel off the ground. It also does it when moving around on the ground, but not as bad as does when the machine is in the air. If you put your hand on the steer cylinder, it feels as if the hydraulic fluid is shuttering (like a bad valve or something). I haven't had time to disconnect the cylinder from the wheel's steering yoke to see if it still does it. Any ideas? Model TMt 55FLXT/T2 Serial: 752360 Yeak: 2005
