Chris,
It's the lower U-joint just above the gear box that commonly goes bad, per the dealer's parts guy. I currently have one that makes a rubbing noise when I turn or go over bumps. It's just started last week. I can reach down feel and hear the rubbing noise when someone turns the steering wheel. I called around for a new part, so far, just the dealer sells them at $210 dollars. My local shop will install it for $60 bucks. (Not bad for labor)

So....I have been thinking about just lubing the hell out of it instead, do you think that would work?

BTW....I took the belly pan off a two months ago for access, it's not reinstalled yet. Do you think my doing this washed off all old lube?
