Dave,
I have uncovered the front pinion area--popping noise, but shear pins ok. Seems the pinion teeth might not be in full contact with the rack teeth?
The slide will come in all the way, but not go out all the way--sounds like your situation--but it was the bushing in the REAR assembly?
How did you actually decide which end was the problem?
Thanks,
Joe
Any other ideas out there? Next item is to uncover the rear assembly...
