Hey folks;
I do not know whether this is relevant or not, but the first couple of
times that I washed my truck (and I hose down everything) when I backed it
out of the garage the next day I had a clunking in the steering somewhere.
Got to lookin' at it and next to the steering box (on the steering column
shaft) there is a joint with a pin through it, well I noticed some fresh
rust around the pin so I took some #3 spray oil (not penetrating oil) and
lubed it fairly well (sprayed the shit-out-of-it) ever since, no more
clunking even when I hose this area down. Just my observation.
Later, love this *Gibson*
