Description of the problem	Steering became quite stiff and wheel did not return after cornering. Ford service manage diagnosed problem as universal joint on steering shaft seizing due to corrosion. There are no grease fittings to lubricate the joints and they are had to reach. Ford dealers do not always have parts on hand for this repair. I have managed to loosen the joint with penetrating oil in a pump oiler. For has offered no solution and the joints had no protective rubber boot over them to protect them from corrosion. In addition, the cooling lines to the power steering pump rusted through posing a danger of sudden loss of power steering assistant.
