Thank you for the suggestion. I did track down and fix the problem. There is a “u-joint” on the steering column, between the firewall and the rack and pin. It was frozen; jacked up to allow front wheels to move. I applied a lot of penetrating oil and move wheel back and forth it then loosened up. As the oil has worked its way into the joint it is now moving freely.

Thanks again for the help!
