Hi Jared,

Had this issue in my '84, the steering would jam for a terrifying second on a lane change or turn. Sometimes, so fast, I wondered if I imagined it.

Extremely disconcerting and a shot of adrenaline when least expected.

It turned out to be one of two needle bearings in the smugglers box where to u-joint for the steering passes through.

It was a dyi job but fiddly. The parts are very inexpensive but get the best bearing you can find.
