How would packing the bearings with grease fix a knocking sound in the steering column of a 2002 Chevy Suburban?
As a Gm Tech. i can tell you that we pack your steering shaft full of a thick grease. Not your bearings. the steering shaft is meant to act like a shock, when the grease is not enough the shock can be felt in the wheel. Now Gm is having the dealerships replace the shafts if the vehicle is under warranty

How do you replace the pitman shaft seals on a 1993 ford ranger with power steering?
In general, repairing a steering gear is not recommended for the casual mechanic. Rebuilt steering gears are available at a reasonable cost. A leaky pitman shaft seal is indicative of internal damage. The seals do not usually fail without something else acting as a catalyst. You'll be far better off if you just replace the steering gear. And while you're at it, check the hydraulic fluid for any contaminants. If anything is floating around in the power steering pump and/or the hoses, it would be a good idea to replace them all since it will just cause the new parts to fail prematurely.

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.
What is the purpose of the steering damper?
It's primary purpose is to control excessive feedback into the steering wheel. For example, when you hit a large pothole, some vehicles would feed back that energy into the steering shaft causing the steering wheel to jump left or right suddenly which could cause the driver to loose control of the vehicle. Not all vehicles need one of these.
Why would a power steering pump overheat?
It could be from worn bearings on the shaft that the pulley turns.
