    Hey,

    Never had to do anything else to the steering rack. I apply more wd-40 semi-annually whenever i remember to.
    The steering column never caused me any more issues.

    However, apparently unrelated, my steering rack does leak power steering fluid and that needs to be addressed at some point.
    Groans sometimes when nearing full lock. I'm going to work on it over the summer when the weather permits.

    My mechanic wanted to fix it while he had it in the shop 3-4 months ago, but he had been working on my truck for 4+ weeks and i'd had enough.
    Already spent $4k to fix more important issues: (new clutch, upper & lower ball joints, cam bolts, tires, water pump, brakes & rotors, & more)

    Anyways, hope that helps.
    Greg
