This is my first adventure to a F150 forum from my Tacoma forums and I'm in need of some help...
(Yes, I did use the search button first, with no help)
My dad has a 04 F150 FX4 with 82,000mi. It is very hard to turn. The power steering pump is ok and the fluid recently has been flushed. Could it possibly be rack and pinion?
Any ideas?
Took my 04 to the dunes last year. Shortly after that my steering started to get stiffer and harder to turn. It was the lower U-joint in the steering shaft that everybody has spoke of. I priced one out at the dealer and I cant remember how much it was but we were going on a trip and the shaft was a few days away. I took a can of sea foam aerosol called deep creep. Sprayed both of the U-Joints in the steering shaft and there was a noticeable difference after driving a short while. Sprayed them down a second time and no more issues. I never did replace it and that was a year ago. I have had no issues since then and it has been thru a Michigan winter with snow,salt,ice,etc. I would try that first before replacing it.
