I started to notice my my brakes and steering components are very unsafe, my steering wheel has to much play, something inside the steering makes a loud clunking noise when I hit a bump, the brakes don't operate correctly, the truck shakes and makes the steering very difficult to control when applying the brakes due to the shaking and vibration. I was told it might be leaking hydraulic fluid. But to sum it all up today on 06-02-2020, I realized the truck is only getting worse and getting harder to steer and the brakes cause the steering to make it even harder to drive with all the shaking and pulling to the side and also I noticed the brake pedal will be really hard at times and then really light at times.

Steering failure. Power steering gear box is leaking fluid and has a thumping in steering column. Steering got hard to turn when low on fluid. According to the internet alot of other people are having the same problems. My mechanic told me the steering gear box needs replaced.
