I have a 92 Explorer XLT 4x4 with a large problem; it will not turn left. I took it to a garage and they told me that it was the gearbox, so I changed it. That did not work. Upon closer inspection, it seems that where the steering column connects to the splined shaft bind together (as in the steering column actually connects with the gearbox). What causes this is not known to me. However, it appears that the splined shaft protruding from the gearbox moves in and out when I steer. It steers like it should to the right, but then to the left, it binds. Oh, should I mention that in order for ANYTHING to happen, the steering wheel must first turn approx. 90 degrees with no resistance, and no result. Again, I consulted a local mechanic (actually, three!) and they are all baffled. They came up with the only other concievable option...it must be the steering column. Does anybody have any ideas??
