I have my 87 mustang, just got done redoing the whole front end.... K-member, Control arms, struts/springs, tie rods, rack, and steering link. However, I still have play in my column somewhere...

If I need to replace my column, what years could I use. I know that the later models have Airbags, but couldn't I still use them? Let me know fellas. I wanna pick up the nicest one I can find and the junker yard, and hope year specs aren't going to be an issue.

I have a grant steering wheel as well, and the bolt was a little loose, but still not a factor in the steering play. (there is no play at all under the car up to the connection to where the steering link connects to the column.

Man, nevermind, guess that bolt that connects the shaft to the column, was just that loose. About 10 turns more with a breaker bar and bamm... nice and stiff steering feel.
