I have a Ford 8n with steering issues. Mostly when turning to the right it squeeks and takes a lot of muscle to turn it. Any ideas on causes or fixes?

The upper bearing in the in the steering box is dry and failing.

The steering box will likely have to be torn down for a rebuild, including replacing the upper bearing.

Or, if it's not completely shot, pumping the steering gearbox full of "cornead grease" MAY lube it, and loosen it up, and allow you to get a few more years of use out of it.

Go to the "N" Board, and type "cornhead grease"in the search box, for more specific information on how to get the grease in there.
