The coupling which attaches the intermediate steering shaft to the steering gear may have oversized serrations which could prevent the coupling from being properly tightened in the steering gear shaft when the steering wheel IS turned. This may also cause free play in the steering wheel.
The involved vehicles may have been built with the transmission adapter plate seal improperly seated. This condition could allow a gradual transfer of lubricant from the transmission to the transfer case.
