That would be a good reason for that one to go first. But I said upper because that is how the steering wheel can move like that. If it was only the lower the wheel could 'pivot' some like a tilt wheel because the bottom end of the shaft could move, but the steering wheel would be firm in it's perches. He can move the wheel up and down in it's perches. After all these years and no lube ever (most likely) AND pulling on the steering wheel getting in and out of truck, the upper bearings tend to go bad. 4wds have this problem more than 2wds
