Re: (ET) Another steering problem: clicking

          All the aforementioned,plus the furnace blower shaft bushing on the front end of the sector shaft.

       ( My bet is the sector gear is loose on the shaft. )

       Diagnosis is best performed with two people.One turning, one watching. :)Find the lost motion, find the problem. :)

Must be that time of year--another steering problem!   My E12M has started making a very sharp, metallic sounding click, when I CHANGE direction.  It's easily felt at the steering wheel but sounds like/feels like it's coming from either the front or the back of the horizontal shaft.  I've lubed the three zerks at the front, without effect.  I've also sprayed some lube on the ball joints, though it doesn't feel like it's coming from this area.

Suggestions on how to proceed?

Thanks.
