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.
