Before the temps here in Illinois reached single digits, I flushed the PS gear with new fluid- didn't change anything, but made me feel better! The pump purged the reservoir in quick order; filled it up and bled it. The PS fluid level was correct. No seal leak detectable.
I have a binding (grating) noise occasionally coming from the bearing area that I don't like so it is very likely that the shaft is binding there- I was going to pull off the turn signal switch to see if something may have come apart- it still cancels and behaves o.k. so it may be the shaft bearing has something going on- did I mention it is cold here? Really don't like the thought of tearing it apart today. I'll look at the lower and middle u-joint when I get home next week.
So, Happy New Year to all and I will update this thead next week when I get a chance to dig into it.
