i have an annoying knock in the wheel during the first inch or two of travel, left or right. rebuilt the control valve as it appeared that the ball joint in the valve was worn. it was, but i still have the knock.

could this be a dry steering gear that needs to be lubed? 70 Cougar, 351W, power steering. pump probably needs a rebuild but otherwise works fine. anyone know what this might be? thanks-

Just guessing but is the fluid level full? could there be air in the system?
