Lube up the mechanisms on the actuator first, see if something is binding. That would be the first step, especially if a "bumpy road" is causing the drop.

Of course the amp itself can have a poor solder joint or connection pin. Which over a bump would cause same thing, so it could be amp. Or for that matter, connector at the actuator. Ensure the actuator connector is not loose / frayed / dirty / etc.
