Yeah, I was driving ~100 miles to the airport to fly to my brother's wedding when they started seizing up. Imagine how thrilled I was I obviously missed my flight and was stuck in SC with no possible way to fix my cruiser and about 60 miles from my original location. It turned out to be about a $3000 job at the dealer and the tech said he barely finished in the week I was gone. The bearings/races apparently all but welded themselves in and the tech was concerned it was going to require a torch


I'll tighten the worm gear down when I get home and see if that fixes it. Thanks for the tip Randy
