WOBBLE --- POWER STEERING PUMP???

'06 F-250 Diesel.. my steering goes nuts at times... pulls left, then right. Sometimes slow, sometimes fast. There's no wining in the pump, just feels hard at times to turn. Once in a while it will make a popping sound. Everything looks normal with the front end.. no loose tie rods, etc. What could this be???

not hard time consuming, the brakes (rotors, calipers and bracket) unit bearings and hubs need to come off. you will need new hub vaccum gaskets. for me in new england rusty stuff is the time killer.
