Is it only in one spot? If it is on the same spot when you turn the wheel..i.e. 3oclock or whatever..there is the universal in the engine bay that gets sticky...a good dose of lube rectified mine....speaking of...she's due for another round....

Hey Wedge....born and raised in Big Indian Ny....know all about all kinds of things freezing to things... dont get quite that cold here in NC...with it happening just the first time you turn right is what gets me....crank it left no problem then it will hang...just a second then fine...will hit the u-joint anyway
