Thank you for your input JohnK! I confess, I took the car to my trusted Mechanic and sat this one out! As it turned out,my steering rack was by-passing internally so it was determined that a rack was the right fix. the intermediate shaft was in good shape with no stiff spots so it went back in. the grinding(I should say more of a scraping noise when the wheel is turned appears to be related to the airbag coil and from what I have hearing seems to be a fairly common problem. Although the dealer was out of stock so it had to be put off when the rack was replaced and mysteriously it has smoothed out a bit(May be because my wallet is empty my hearing isnt quite as accute!)Maybe now that you explained the airbag I R&R it my self.If you have any other tips or watchouts on this procedure I would be interested. Thanks again JK
