Yesterday I greased the CV joint. By the end of the day there was some improvement. So I believe (and hope...:) that it is simply a CV joint that was starting to seize up from being dry. I also lubed the lower steering shaft u-joint some days ago with no change.

My 240 had both a bad rack and a bad lower steering shaft u-joint. This problem feels more like a binding steering shaft u-joint than a bad rack. I have flushed the PS fluid twice and replaced with synthetic ATF in the last 4 years so I seriously doubt it is the rack.

Both outer tie rods have been replaced in the last couple of years. I will check the inner ones.

Will update, thx!


Jim
