Front step

[Leroy Eckert]

I presume your step is air operated? Mine is. If you look at the design from underneath the step you will see the air actuator. It is attached to a center section that moves the step in and out. When the step is completely extended the center section actually goes over center providing a locking effect similar to an aircraft landing gear drag link. If the air goes down, the step will not move in this configuration. You might check and see if the actuator is adjusted so that complete extension is achieved. Drooping forward to back may be another problem such an it getting tweaked along the way. You can manually move that step in and out by disconnecting the actuator. In that case you will be able to view the alignment when moved in and out. Caution. Use extreme care when under that step. It can whack you.

My front step does work (most of the time) but that's not the issue. The step droops to starboard quite a bit. Plus, it kind of droops forward as well. While the step still works, it would be nicer if it were squared up. Is there an easy fix or does the step need to be replaced? As always, thanks in advance for the help.
