Problem with steering column!

86turbo said:

Hey guys I need advice about my steering column. There is up/down side/side play in the steering wheel. I double checked the wheel is tight and not moving, the 4 nuts mounting the steering column itself are tight, the rag joint is brand new, new rack. I have the feeling this 170K+ mile steering column is worn out. Maybe one of the bearings is shot? I called around to the part places and they dont carry them. Does anyone sell a rebuild kit?

thanks,

Drew

p.s its on an 85 coupe

Take all the plastic covers off from around the steering wheel. Remove the multifunction switch. There will be 2 7/16 bolts.....they will be as loose as a 10cent whore. Take them out, add some thread lock and put them back in tight! That will take care of the play!
