About 4 miles before my factory warranty expired we had the entire steering colum changed cause it kept loosing power steering. Now at 76K for a while Ive noticed a popping noise and when I turn the vehicle. I can also feel it. It has been doing this for several thousand miles I belive. My wife drives the car and I recently returned from Iraq and I don't drive the car so she never told me about it. Anyways, could it be the tie rods or something possibly more serious?

What price range should I expect this update to cost? I've got the exact same problem with my 2005 6cyl, 103000 miles.
