Ariens zoom max 60 does not go straight back when pulling on the control levers. Left side is half the speed as the right so i go backwards in circles

More than likely you have a drive failing. But I would check all the linkages back the drive for any loose rods or bell cranks.

Do you have any freeplay in the handles? Does each side start to move with the same movement or does one handle have to move a bit further before the drive engages?

There is no freeplay. They start together. It does not matter which may move first or further. That left side is just weak. And it happened without notice, just like that.
