I have a 04 f250 6.0. Ill be driving down the road just fine but then ill come to a stop sign and turn the wheel to make a turn and hear a pop. Then ill start driving and steering wheel and tires start to shake like the tie rods went out. i can't get up to 10mph before it all shakes. I just replaced the drag link and both tie rods and ball joint are all tight. What confuses me is i can park my truck turn it off and check everything out, then get back in later that day and drive it and everything will be fine. Then i did notice is i can almost predict when a pop will happen. Because when Im driving and go to make a turn around a corner i will go to make a slight turn and i can feel the tires jerk in the direction I'm turning. Then shortly after seems like the pop comes. The steering wheel is not stiff at all feels like normal i can turn it with one finger. Iv also notice a have a slight leak in the power steering line when i fully lock the wheel in either direction. But this leak would not be enough to make this noise i think. Just curious what other people think? Could it be the power steering pump going bad or the steering gear box. I also thought about the steering shaft?
Thanks in advance for any advice
