I thought it felt like a weak tie-rod? You just feel a thumping in the steering wheel along with an irritating 'loose' sound when the wheel is even slightly turned when you are moving.

(or you can disconnect it and run the shaft down and re-install (like we did at the dealer). works for a while till you need a new grease plug kit. Also be sure to tighten the (4) bolts on the frame connector (goes across the bottom from 1 side to the other) these were undercoated before install and tend to pop at parking lot turn speeds.

i have a thuming sound comming from the front of my truck but i cant really say that i feel it in the steering wheel. i want to fix this problem, but i dont want to buy the new shaft if thats not going to be the problem. i want to try to grease the shaft that it has right now to see if the thumping sound stops. if it does then i will buy the new shaft. but my question is where do i lube the existing shaft at and will any kind of grease work?
