probably worn out delron bushings inside. Parts cost is about $0.29 per side for the dowel cut to size, labor time is about 3 hrs first side, 45 min next side.

The bushings are the link that protects the gears from wear. When they get worn out the motor does not know when its hit the bottom of the travel...so it tries to keep running until it finds resistance.

Do a search here...lots of write ups/tips on headlite repair and rebuilding.

You can pick these up at most auto parts stores and they're pretty cheap.
