I'm not totally sure what the exact issue is but it sounds like something with the gears inside therefore you'd be better off with a full replacement landing gear set for which we have a couple great options. The Lippert Manual Landing Gear Set part # LC333966 is a manual replacement option and the Lippert Electric Landing Gear Set part # LC333964 is a power replacement option. These both come with their own brackets for installation but so long as your existing match up with the standard of 15-1/2" inside to inside or 17-1/2" outside to outside then you won't have to use them.
