This just started about a month ago (got the truck back in May). Anytime
I'm stopped and just turn the wheel a little bit back and forth, like
within the "play" range, I hear a strange thump and feel it on the
floorboard. It doesn't matter if the brakes are applied or if the truck
is in park, it still happens. Before I take it to the dealership, does
anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

Thanks,
John

John,

Ford had some problems with their intermediate steering shafts. Not sure if
it's a problem on the 2003. If so they will replace it. It's the shaft
between the steering gear and the column.

Thanks John, I'll keep that in mind when I take it in next week. Sure
sounds like a possibility.
