Hi i have a friend who recently had some steering problems with his PA12 and he send me these pics.
Does anybody know what we can do to avoid these or is there a update available and a known problem for this model?

ths for your support did some research and could not find any post on this type of wear out/damage.

Hello,


That's about my PA12. :)

The problem is that the PVC part on the pics below has worn quite badly. It supports the axle
that runs down from my steering knob. Because of the wearing, the steering knob often gets
jammed when in extreme left or right position and requires quite some force to re-center.
I guess I'm lucky the cables have not snapped yet.

I assume this is not "normal wear" after less than 2 years of use. Would this be covered under
factory warranty? And after replacing the part; how to prevent this from happening again?


Many thanks for sharing your thoughts and advice.


regards,
Randy
