I always try the easiest things first. There is a belt that drives the two transaxles, be sure it is adjusted properly. The metal fins on the transaxles need to be clean. they are just behind the belt, blow or wash them out. The two transaxles are not likely to fail at the same time and if one is going out you would notice a difference in turning right or left. I'm rambling again, check the belt, clean the finns and let us know the results.
