While discussing steering problems: Technician A says that a “jerky” steering wheel and a “clunking” noise could indicate worn steering column U-joints. Technician B says that lack of assist and a “growling” noise in a fluid-filled steering pump could indicate a hose or pump internal restriction. Who is correct?
