And you received an answer from a certified technician that has been doing this for over 40 years! Have a mechanic check this out as I cannot. You seem to have a lot of questions according to your bio. just click on your screen name CANDY69 to see them all. No need to reply, I will NOT respond further, nor in the future!!

Me neither!!

Are you kidding me, just read several questions. What a blond history. I'm done with her.

There is more, remember the one with the 1995 Toyota Celica that said the shop tried to rip her off by saying the drain plug to the diff. was leaking? That one is another waste of time!

I'll remember that. Well thanks for the tip.

its not hard to turn it just dont spin back around to the center position

Wow I was typing a reply, when I got done all this other was already said. Sorry there was no response when I started typing, Surprised I was. Anyway the only other thing I might mention about the popping noise is, the pivot points in the steering of the wheels pivot on ball joints. Now some of these are sealed at the factory and are not greaseable. They will dry out in time, and not pivot as easily. I think I understand what you mean about coming back to center. This might be checked to see if this is your problem, Also check the outer tie rods, and make sure they aren't dried out as well.

why would the outer tie rods get dry out by him just turniing the wheel intill i wont turn no more-- my steering dont shake so its not the outer tie rods -I DO NOT HEAR ANY NOISE COING FROM MY VAN SO ITS NOT THE pivot on ball joints
