Hey guys I haven't been on here lately, but I've been having some problems on the ranger. About 2 months ago, I start hearing a grinding sound coming out of my front driver side wheel assembly. I have took it in twice and the first time they said it was a bearing so they replaced it. Didn't work. So the next time I took it in, they said it was a spacer. I said well ok, do anything to stop making that grinding sound. So they did. Got it back and it ran smooth...for 2 weeks. Now its making it again and I don't really know what's going on. Every time I turn the steering wheel to the left or right, it will grind. I don't know if I need an alignment or what, but it needs to be fixed. If you guys have any ideas on it that would be great.

I also have one more problem. My power steering is leaking and I can't seem to figure out if it needs a new seal or what, but I kinda get tired of pouring more fluid into it. Yet again, if you guys have any clues or hints on fixing this, that would be great. Thanks and have a good one!

could the grinding be coming from the leaky steering box?
