Smile 2004 ford,,

I had this same problem,,but didn't do a site seach, silly I know
,,,,,Mine would fix it self a couple days at a time so after driving it for a month like this, and ,after disconnecting the steering rods,changing the fluid,checking out the rack and pump I determined the ujoints in the steering were at fault.
So I came on the site to share my discovery,,,owell.,,a few shots of oil ,,good as new.
