So, I'm driving along to my daughter's apartment, not a care in the world. Pulling into a parking space, I crank the steering wheel nearly full lock left when suddenly I'm hearing a Gawd awful grinding under the hood with a vibration coming up the steering column to the wheel. With my foot on brake pedal, it begins pulsating like the ABS has activated, but the truck isn't moving. Drove on to a doctor appt., the grinding sensation is there when turning the steering wheel either direction, and the pulsating brake pedal thing continues. No fluid under truck, fluid reservoir dipstick shows full hot. Dropped the truck off at my mechanic, might be a couple days before they get to it.
I'm thinking power steering pump, steering rack, or both. Am I on track here, or could it be something else? Also, what kind of wallet damage am I looking at for parts?
Just paid the sucker off last month........go figure. :M
