I have a 2016 R4 and I was about to load it on my trailer and the steering just broke I think. My front wheels are both pointing outwards. Does this mean front differential broke?  I jacked it up and got them both pointing in the right direction. When up in the air they work together. But as soon as I put back on the ground and move it a few feet they separate again.

I don't see how the differential can cause what you describe as it isn't really part of the steering system.  Check the CV joints with the wheels off the ground.  Grab the tire and see if you have any excessive play.  I would also look at the tie rods and Heim joints and other steering linkage componens that connect the two wheels together.  It's weird that they turn together when off the ground, but not when weight is applied.

      How messed-up is this. Think head gasket is blown
      By Greg Kilgore
      I'm 99.9% sure head gasket is blown.
      Don't have coolant in oil. That a good thing. But think coolant is getting in combustion chamber. 
      I did compression test.
      Got 120psi walked away. Came back to 105psi 15 minutes later.
      How hard is it to replace?

      Front Shocks for Landpride Treker 4200NT
      By KimAC
      I need a pair of front shocks for a Landpride Treker 4200NT, from 2005?  Does anyone know of a good salvage yard - or another source?
      The old shocks have "SEBAC 11685 12 3" stamped on them (or something very close - it's hard to read). I think SEBAC are (were?) an Italian company.
      Is there a compatible shock I can use? I don't have easy access to a scrap yard where I can compare shocks etc.
      Thanks,
      -Kim

      2022 Hisun Sector 550 eps. Power steering not working
      By A P
      Hi
      I have a 2022 hisun sector eps 550. 30amp fuse is blown for eps. Checked the motor and it’s fine. Opened up the controller and found a bad diode. Dealer wanted 500$ for the controller. Just posting this in case it helps someone. I couldn’t read numbers from the old one so just took a guess and replaced it with a 100v 3amp diode.

      Axis x550 02 sensor on right after buying the UTV.
      By TPlummer
      We recently purchased the Axis x550. Fueled it with 93 fuel and drove one time around the farm and the 02 fault error appeared. Any ideas?

      Differential Breathers - Bellow vs standard breather on Toyota Axle
      By Travis M
      Just purchased a T-Boss 760 and before putting any miles on it I'm going over all the fluids, grease and problem areas that I've read about online because I know the factory quality control is garbage. 
      I've seen where everyone seems to have leaking axle seals after 2-300 miles on the T-Boss 550 and 760. I think I'm going to switch from the bellow-style diff breather to the automotive style diff breather that they use on my Tacoma and various other vehicles. I'll still keep it extended and infact run it even higher, probably into the air intake box, but I'm hoping this is what's causing the axle seal leak issue on these vehicles.  
      I'll do the modification and report back every couple hundred miles and let you know. I currently only have 8 miles, so it will be a few months before I find out if mine leaks like everyone elses.
