My steering has been doing the exact same thing off and on so tonight I'm going to change out the oil and spray the joint. I know pretty quick if that solved the problem. Sometimes it gets so hard to turn it's definitely NOT safe but once you get it moving it turns back and forth like it should. So strange!! I'm optimistic the two suggestions will solve these problems.

thanks guys.

Before I had a chance to change out the oil again, I bought a can of liquid wrench while I was driving around during the day and sprayed the steering nuckle. It worked amazingly and yesterday evening and today so far it has worked flawlessly.

I'm still going to flush the power steering fluid with fresh stuff just to take care of it though.

THanks Guys.
