    Need some help so I have resistance in my steering when I'm turning right mostly(steering does return) so Iv PB blasted the U joint behind the steering wheel, changed power steering fluid with atf d3, bled the steering and still resistance though not as bad as originally but it is still there and when I jack up the truck the steering is not a rough with the resistance but still there. I also had just changed out all LBJ and upper uniballs. So I'm prolly going to have to swap the steering rack out but today a new symptom when I make a left turn upon return to I trap position there clicking on the steering wheel it's self anyone experience this? What do you guys think? Thanks for the help just wondering what you all think it is and what parts need to be replaced

    Airbag light on? Clicking could be the clock spring behind the steering wheel.

    That is a good assumption actually but no lights on dash for me but I'll investigate that idea more thank you man
