Hydraulic cylinder drift can point to internal leakage, load-holding valve issues, or worn components—but inaccurate testing can lead to unnecessary teardown and downtime.

Use the right test conditions and measurements to confirm whether the problem is in the cylinder, valve, or system before ordering parts.
