On the return home the steering stiffness went away as quickly as it had come on- man, I hate problems like that! So, it took me a month, to identify what had actually happened.
A couple of days ago, I pulled the panels under the switch column and under-panel, when I pulled the ductwork, the problem was immediately apparent as multiple roller bearings and what was (used to be) bearings and, or races presented itself in a pile resting nicely on the ductwork.
So, today I ordered a new steering shaft bearing!
Obviously, when the bearing initially failed and a roller got crosswise it jammed up the works until the forces of nature reduced the bearing to its basic components- no bearing, no stiffness, just slop.
