Had my 220 out today, and the steering started acting really bad, I had to keep turning the wheel to the left to keep er straight. The steering still works to the right and left but over a 5 or 6 mile run I had to turn about 100 times to the left compared to about half a turn to the right. Any ideas on a fix. Thanks for any input.

Re-seal the steering hydraulic cylinder to eliminate drift. It is NORMAL for the steering wheel to want to rotate one way all the time, but when it's that excessive, re-seal the cylinder and also check the front wheels "toe-in".
