steering tick.

dangit. :(



Thought the little tick I was getting when moving the wheels back and forth was just a balljoint calling out for replacement.



I ain't that lucky.



The output shaft for the steering box is moving side to side.



There is a rebuild kit for the shaft that has seals and new bearings, but I suspect more than that is probably wrong. Probably better to just swallow the $200 napa wants for a reman box.



On the bright side I've been down in there before so taking it out shouldn't be too hard.


Hey Doug... If you don't have one already, open an account at Napa, you get a discount that way :)

:) already get one based on where I work. Thanks.

At least it can't fall out, so I'll work on it in a few weeks.
