    Photo, please. It's hard to diagnose problems like this with just short descriptions. How many u-joints do you have in your steering shaft? Do you have them phased correctly? If you have three u-joints or a single and a double in combination, you need a support bearing.

    The illustration below shows how they need to be phased.
