Hard to steer
 
Bit of an ongoing problem.. -2001 4.4i-

The steering wheel is anything but "one figner turn" perfect, more like two hand turn scary. There is also a noteable clunk sound.

What i feel is that the steering wheel is hard to turn, then releases and does the same over and over, the auto spin back is anything but smooth and it's like taking on a sharp turn at a high speed, but in reality i'm just doing a small slow turn.

Ideas? Indy already replaced fluid, hoses, & ATF filter and no dice so far.

Works great
 
Buy a spray can of liquid wrench. Pop the hood find the steering knuckle mid way down in the engine compartment - just track it down from your steering wheel. Liberally spray the Liquid Wrench turn the wheel spray again. Cost about $3.00 time less than 2 minutes results. Priceless
