Grease everything. See if it's any better. Sounds like a dry joint somewhere, possibly binding as well.

Think that could cause the steering issues I’ve been having? I’m not sure what that parts called but I can feel the almost poping under The floor bord when I’m driving

If yours was the one having no power steering turning one direction, then no, it won't cause that.... but, if it's binding, it will give you some odd steering issues.

Hey so today I changed the drag link because it was poping binding right there fixed it still didnt fixed steering I didn’t really expect it to but I changed the oil while I was there because I noticed when I was driving 1hour 2x within the hour the oil pressure dropped to 0 for a split second no weired noises or anything so I drove home and checked oil seemed over full but dipstick was black so hard to really see so I changed the oil and only 3qt came out of the oil pan I know they take 7qt it was cold when I changed it I put 7qt in and the oil pressure is now reading at 3/4 from the max any info ideas is it okay to drive it it’s not smoking making no noises or anything

The pressure sensors wear notoriously failure prone...... May be as simple as that. Being that low on oil, I'm not real surprised it would zero out though..... especially cornering, or coming to a stop.

It did do it once out of the 2 times when I stopped at the house I’m just worried I over filled it bc of the dip stick reading full when I was on 3qt I let it drain for over 30mins and replaced filter and everything
