Re: steering wheel feels loose
First thing I would try is greasing the gearbox, that helped a lot on mine.

Might get under the front have someone turn the steering back and forth and see where the slop is.

Re: steering wheel feels loose
Ah haha to Dave above, boy can I relate to that LOL.......
To the OP; My 85 has a tiny bit of slop, I'd say about an inch at the steering wheel edge. Upon further investigation I found that it was the connection between the steering column and the little pinion gear at the end that goes into the steering box (rack and pinion housing). IF I remember right the gear has like a shoulder with a hole or slot in it and the column has a pin, apparently the gear hole/slot or the pin is wore so as they don't fit as snug together as they used to...... I once thought about doing some drilling to put a bigger pin in but decided to leave well enough alone till it gets really bad |
