Looking for input on what might be causing an alignment issue with my mower.
Issue: alignment is toed out and wheels have "play" in terms of the alignment. I can hold one wheel straight and move the other wheel from "in alignment" to maybe one inch out of alignment.
Originally I thought my tie rod looked bent and thought they may be worn out so I replaced both right and left with no success. Next I moved to the drag links thinking they may be bent or worn out and problem is still not solved. I have watched videos that show you can bend components to fix the toed out condition, however, I do not think that will solve my problem as the wheels have "play" as I mentioned. I tried uploading a video with no success so I will try my best to describe additional details as needed.
After spending a fair amount of time moving the wheels left and right, the only possible area I see an issue is the sector plate rocks/tilts back and forth when I moving the wheels as described. I removed the plate to inspect but I can't see how I would correct the play in the sector plate.
I appreciate any input.
