[DeTomaso] steering noise question

My guess is tie rods, or perhaps the ball/socket piece that's inside the rack.
If you remove the tie rods from the spindle and them move them up/down/back/forth, it should all be smooth - fairly stiff, but smooth.
Or, it could just be a dry rack.

Yes, it just seems to be sort of creaky when I'm going over bumps or
turning at all. When I'm stopped and I turn the wheel it actually
sounds like something is binding.

Did you say it was steering or when you went over a bump? Could it be
the balance bars binding?

Good news about the windows: I moved the passenger switch to the
driver's side, and the driver's side switch to the passenger
side, and
lo and behold, now they both work fine. I'm guessing corrosion
built
up on the terminals, and when I pulled them off and put them on
again
it restored the connection. I'll keep my eye on it and see if
there
are any other moments of hesitation with either window.
If only all Pantera projects were so easy to fix!
Now, about that steering noise...
Sincerely,
Chris

You should be able to see the Ammeter move if the motor is
working.
