I just got my 89' f-150 back on the road after a 3 month down time. Before the down time it on occasion felt like there was a "catch" in the steering. During the rebuilds, all the steering links were found to be OK. But now after straightening out from a left turn, the truck wants to pull hard to the left. At first this felt like a brake caliper hanging up. but the calipers are free and there is no pulling from either side when stopping. Fluid level in the pump is OK and no unusual noise from the pump. Often it will be pulling to the left and then "break free" and steer normally and track straight down the road. My question is could there be or is there proportioning valve or equallizer valve in the steering box that is sticking or failing?
