thanks, for the help...I got an email from Andy Levy with the same fix...I
think I am going to try that! Did you replace it or just reinstall it? The
reason I ask is Andy Levy had his replaced (but then again he off roads) ;)

I guesss no new suspension parts lately? Last year I got new tie rod ends
(do not know the brand ) installed and the front end on my '95 CC popped
for a while. I re-greased all fittings and it went away.

But recently, I started getting another clunk/pop in the front end.. Most
noticable when I stopped and the front end moved up/down.
I took out the intermediate steering shaft checked it and put it back in.
The clunk went away - go figure. Try it.
I think a non mopar steering shaft with needle bearings is about $250, a
mopar one was around $230
