Have lubricated all zerks and tie rod ends. No apparent interferences. Could there be something worn or out of adjustment below the cover plate in the cast steel box housing the steering gear(s)?

However?............it could be. I may take it off & check it. It just started doing it yesterday. [Reply]  [No Email]

Something about the mount in that area if it gets loose or some such thing will cause problems BTDT [Reply]  [No Email]

With weight on it you can not feel for worn parts and that is why when they inspect a car they jack them up and look for play in ball joints etc [Reply]  [No Email]
