Intermittent Hard Steering Problem

[miked]

with an assistant, do a "dry park test".


this is done with the front tires are off the ground or unloaded and supported by jack stands.
the assistant turns slightly left-to-right-to-left-to-right and so on while
you under the car grasping suspected components for abnormal vibration, harhsness or binding.
also, check for signs of rusting of flex points.

if the replaced components were installed and torqued while the front tires are turned, there is a possibility that there is binding on the flex points
