More steering noises, Denver get together

[DGraber460 at aol.com]

My 91 100 did the same thing.
It ended up being a dry tie rod end. Another lister suggested putting the 
front end up on jack stands. Then start it up and have someone turn the 
steering lock to lock. When I did this, it didn't make any noise, but by 
putting my hand on the different pivot points, I was able to feel the 
vibration in the offending part.
Solved it by pushing the rubber boot up and "injecting" oil into it as it 
moved back and forth.
Haven't heard from it since.
Very relieved, as I thought my pump or rack was going out.

PS FWIW, I had an angiogram today, and am scheduled for open heart surgery on 
the 13th. I would like to get together with some area listers for a beer 
before they gut me like deer. Anyone interested post up.
