Bravo 1 in out limit ?

SO my formula has twin Bravo 1s and I noticed a weird issue today while servicing for summer. The port drive goes in and out quite a bit more than the starboard drive does. Anyone know what could be causing this ? If it was only not going up as high I would guess low on fluid but it dosnt go in as far either. Im talking about a very noticeable difference. Could a bad cylinder cause this ?

There’s a bolt that holds the shock piston to the ram, if it comes loose, the springs that hold the check balls also get loose allowing oil to travel though the piston, when this happens the’ll do weird things like not trimming in as far, trimming up momentarily when pushing the down button, I’d remove the cylinder anchor pin at the drive, run the trim pump and watch how the cylinders act
