If you have a deep cut on your arm and I put a bandage over it so you can't see it does that make the cut go away? Same principle here with DW. It is still there but now you cant feel it as much.

Yeah, I guess im convinced

I will definetly look further into the problem next time I come across it, now, I know there was no play in any of the joints, but I guess play in the steering box would cause this also?
