Default problem solved
It was the angle of the middle u-joint. Just barely touching it would heat up and start binding after driving for awhile. We loosened the column and backed it out about 1/8 or so. It steers like it has power steering now. Ohbouy, you may want to check this before you start replacing parts. Jack up the front and turn the steering wheel untill it gets to a tight spot. Then work the wheel back and fouth in an inch segment. Mine went from just alittle tight spot to a loud squeak that made the dogs go crazy.

Hope this helps,
Kajun
