Re: Me again, more help please

Normally it would have a loose feel with worn joints. However if the ball joints were dry it will even sort of screech some. The lowers are usually the ones. The joint consists of a steel ball wrapped in a nylon type collar in the socket. Old dried grease or lack of will make em noisey.
A tired old steering pump could possibly be the blame for low pressure assist.
