power steering/ steering issue

Yep.

 

I Finally do it.. 150$can for the shaft and 100 $ for alignement.... and the damn ticking sound when i hit little bump stopped.. he run like new now. I'm so fu(*(*g happy!

 

Wow, thanks for this TW peeps. I’ve been noticing the same symptoms recently, got bad today. The PS resivoir was low so I added fluid and still shitty steering. Found this and called my mechanic and he diagnosed this same issue over the phone. He’s gonna grease it tomorrow. Can’t belevie there’s no boot on this joint. Soaking it in WD40 helped, but I know it’s only a temporary fix.

 

Has anyone heard about or tryed this aftermarket steering shaft? No reviews on it. Its about 1/3 of the OEM price.
Sorry if this has been talked about already, I tried searching.
