Seering is tight and hard to steer especially while driving around curves and when turning the steering is tight and then loosens up and jerks suddenly . Found the steerind column knuclkles scoooded and no way to lubricate.
The truck steering column was hard to turn. Clunking and sticking points were noted during turning. Found lower steering shaft u-joint in engine compartment seized. This coincides with latest Ford recall for 2005 - 2011 Ford cars. This was diagnosed as "frozen" by Ford and replaced on 06/17/13. This recall should be expanded to include Ford F-150 series trucks.
