"stiff" steering?

[jljbtm]

I drove my 2011 to work this morning and everything was fine this evening on the way home the steering was very stiff and jerky. I have about a hundred and forty thousand miles on a 2011 anyone else have a problem like this?

Sterring shaft u joints most likely.

Just like that? Is it common on these trucks

Mine did it sitting in a restaurant. Fine when I went in when I came out it was stiff didn't wana return to straight and it was kinda scary to drive. I took my shaft out lubed it up. Been good for a year now. Next time it does it I'm gonna drill a hole in the u joint end caps and put grease zerks in it.

Yeah I second the steering shaft u-joint. Grease worked for a while, but just had to replace it because it was shot.

Is your power steering noisy?

Is the fluid level full?

Definately check pump and fluid level....
