When turning the steering wheel there is a rubbing sound coming from the front end .Sounds like it is coming from the steering box,any ideas what is causing this? This is on a 1997 Expedition.Thanks for any help.

My 98 Expedition just (within the past month) started exhibiting the same symptoms. Anyone else?

The rubbing sound is the pitman arm.I had to have mine replaced on my 97 Expedition. That solved the problem.It was covered by the warranty

Go to any autopart supply and buy a needle fitting for your grease gun and inject some grease through the rubber boots on the tie rods.
That will cure the problem and buy you some time if your warranty period has expired.
