i recentlr bought an 88 xj 4wd with a broken steering column.
i replaced the steering column and the power steering pump. when i turn the steering wheel it starts out good. but after a revolution or so, it 'catches' or kinda 'hangs' then turns a revolution or so then 'catches' or 'hangs' again then is ok for a revolution or so then.....well you get the idea. also i hear a noise, 'grinding/grating' noise that coincides with the 'hang/catches'.
any ideas what it could be? something with intermediate shaft? steering box? bushings?
thanks
