Description of the problem	Steering became intermittently stiff while driving. Truck had about 80000 miles on it and 9 years old when symptoms started. Stiffness would occur sometimes at highway speeds when i started a lane change, and at slow speeds when i was turning (for instance on community streets). As i was turning it would cycle from hard to regular effort, as would be if a universal joint was going bad. My non-ford mechanic diagnosed it as a bad lower steering shaft. I inspected the bad shaft and agreed that one universal shaft was tight and the other was extremely tight. $557 repair.
