Has anyone had to rebuild theirs? Mine will unscrew till it starts to tyrn the wheels then when you go back the other way you have to basically screw it back in then it'll turn. All the balls in the upper bearing were mossing as well as the lower bearing. It's the power steering version with cylinder in the front bolster area. Unscrews a inch to inch and a half and really annoying can't enjoy it at all. Is the shaft worn out or could it be the wrong one ?
