Trying To Diagnose The Steering Issue On The Clark C500

In this video I start to tear down the Clark C500Y45 forklift steering assembly to try and figure out what the problem is. I see the new problem is that the Clark dealership wants over $2000 USD for the whole assembly (part# 1618298) and I only paid $1000 for the entire forklift. So, we will try to get this thing cleaned out in the next video and go from there. ***************************** Music: Farewell Musician: Ilya Truhanov URL: https://icons8.com/music/ ***************************** AI Filler Clark 1618298 is a manual steering gear assembly (worm-and-sector style), designed for models including the C500 and similar Clark forklifts allforkliftparts.com +13 powerbrake-drivetrain.com +13 spareparts-shop.co.uk +13 .
