DANGER. If it is impending failure (excessively loose) of the roller on the top of the "sector", AKA the cross shaft, an imminent failure which can happen IS dangerous. Roller fails, steering box locks up. Bad things can happen. References provided on request.

alternate (less dangerous) sticking could be at either point of the drag link due to the ballstuds at the end of the pitman arm or the center steering arm worn into a groove that then feels sticky, or the infamous center steering pin being really really worn. Also don't rule out a wheel bearing loose or failing.
