Best Answer

A mower may start to steer hard from many things:

-Flat/soft tires

-Lack of grease on the front axle or front axle joints

-Lack of grease on the rack/pinion gears

-Lack of grease on the steering wheel bearing

-Crack in the axle itself, allowing the corners of the axle to move

I have had all of these happen to me and they are relatively quick to rule out.
