Power Steering help Please
ok a busy day today. i been getting "stiff spots" in my steering wheel. it'll go stiff, easy, stiff, ect. all the way around ether way. i changed out the power steering pump, no difference. i took the front tires off and disconnected the tie rod ends to check for sezed ball joints or u-joints, everything moved freely. any advise would be much appricated, thanks -Dustin-

check the joint at the bottom of the steering shaft, you may have to disconnect it from the steering box to check it correctly

I don't think it's the pump. Possibly gear box. Is there any kind of joint or coupler in the steering column? (I've only had my XJ a little over a month; not that familiar with them yet.)
