Steering linkage is a term used to describe all the components used in the front of your vehicle to turn the wheels. It will all be located in the front of your car.
To transmit the rotary movement to the steering linkages.
Add the pump/steering box pullys and belt. linkages will line up fine.
A "U" joint is generally used in the steering column shaft between the wheel and the steering gear. This would be either the rack or the steering box.
I need more info. There are two different systems in steering linkages. Tell me what you are trying to replace. Rob
Could be worn ball joints, worn steering linkages, worn/out of adjustment steering box and or worn/out of adjustment wheel bearings.
If it takes an abnormal amount of steering wheel movement to turn the wheels then chances are it is the steering gear box. Also check for bad ball joints and tie rod ends. Any steering linkages can be suspect.
A few things could cause this. Low power steering fluid, too slow engine speed (low RPMs), faulty power steering pump or broken power steering pump belt, binding or poorly lubricated steering linkages, faulty steering gear, etc.
1.Drive shaft of a vehicle 2.Automotive steering linkages
All steering linkages have either a "U" joint to align the Steering Colum to the steering box or rack OR They have a noise and vibration damper made of rubber and cloth like a tire side wall. Either of these components can fail and cause the symptom you describe.
