    Shaky steering levers can be from the double U-joint connecting the hydrostat pumps to the engine going dry. That of course is if it uses a double U-joint but a lot of machines do. Bit of a pain if you have to replace it. I grease mine everytime I change the oil but some aren't greaseable. A long time Bobcat dealer told me to make sure to keep the double U-joint greased and shaky steering levers is an indication the U-joints are dry or need replacing.
