On my alpha 1 out drive I'm getting an evil sounds when i turn left and a little less when i turn right. still getting higher than norm going straight . Pulled outdrive and u-jounts seem real good. How do i check gimble bering. Is there only one. The housing has alot of play from left to right,(allowing 3 in. at back of propeller. Want to head off trouble ! What do i look for. Out drive oil is clear and good color, Turns fairly good in both derections. Why such evil sounds and vibration while turning at 3100 r.p.m. or any r.p.m. thank you John
