Steering Problem

I have an 07 Screw and it is a great truck. However I have had some steering/ front end issues. At 3500 miles I had a clunking sound coming from the front end while turning at speeds 30mph - 50mph. Took it to the dealer & they confirmed the noise. They had to replace the steering gear. Recently I have noticed a bind or soft pop coming from the steering column while turning at low parking lot speeds at 6000 miles. Took it to the dealer & they confirmed the noise. Repositioned the shifter cable/dust boot/lubed the steering stop. However I'm noticing the bind or soft pop again. Any suggestions?

seems like a re-curring issue, but it doesn't sound too serious. I wouldn't worry about it, my mom's mazda has been making a soft whine in the steering for years and nothing has torn up.

Did you dealer ever get this problem fixed for you? Just curious, as mine is doing the same thing.

Joshreed, I have not taken the truck back to the dealer. Just been too busy but will mention it again at my next oil change when I hit 9k. It now makes a creeking sound from the steering column so maybe they can diagnose the problem this time. If you get your truck checked out and they find the issue let me know man...
