Agreed... They are fairly inexpensive! A sticky seal in it could def cause it to hang up

Guess thats what Ill do unless I find somthing obvious, thanks for all the imput guys, and with the steering box do you have to align the box to the frame??? I know you hove to align the steering wheel seems eazy enough to do that...

Just wanted to let you know what my Brake issue turned out to be, My wheel BEARING!!!! It started clunkin around this weekend and just replaced it today and drove 50 miles and brakes are nice a hard. So just another suggestion to give anyone when all troubleshooting has failed.

When I changed the ball joints (upper and lower both sides) one of the hub bearing assemblys sounded like it had sand in it. I replaced both of them at 78,000 miles. Just to add to what you found. :c:

My truck has 234K on it, and i asked the owner if he ever replaced them and he said no and hes owned it for 8 years when it had 98K on it.
