Hey you experts out there. I know this question has come up before but what if I loosen the bolts on those sloted flat bars to adjust for creep? I looked at the blocks and they aren't grooved. Can I make an adjustment to the shock absorbers? It's not a bad creep but it's annoying all the same. Any thoughts would be appreciated, thanks BobCat.

Those steering bar bolts you mention will only even out forward and reverse speed and to take the hook out of travel if your machine pulls to one side , -----------It is a hard thing to explain , and the way the dealers doit is really not easy to me , I don't adjust the creep per the manuel , put a block under the back end and lift the machine off the ground with the bucket , then put two jack stands , one under each axle and let the weight down on the stands, raise the boom up and put the safety bar in place , so the machines 4 wheels are off the ground and the boom in the air , start the machine , put seat bar down and hit the operation button , raise the cab with the motor running and on top the pintle cover plate are 4 3/8 bolts , 2 on each side , start with the left lever if you were sitting in the seat , note the way that you have to pull or push the travel lever to make the wheels neutral , barely loose the bolt that holds the sqaure block to the pintle plate on the side ( front or back) that isn't making contact with the cam roller on the pintle lever while you are holding he stick in the neutral postion , take a small hammer and tap the head of the bolt over till the block touches , wiping the top of the plate off and marking it with a marks alot helps to see ow much you move it , then tighten the bolt , when you make a huge move it will affect the other side , go back and forth till you get it right , --------one thing to look for is if the pintle arm is tight on the shaft , they are notorious for coming loose , especially the one on the left

This adjustment seems to cause more frustration to owners than any other repair on a bobcat.It is for this reason that i believe that a few dollars spent with an experienced repairer is money well spent.

I kinda wished I had done my own, mine had it re-done and now I can't make fine turns at lower engine RPM's because now it jerks to the left all the time. But it sure is silky smooth at high speeds though and no noise from the pumps either.

Thanks Guys, I'm gonna get a Service manual and take another look at it. Thanks again, BobCat.
