what do need to fix it???

Get under the dash in the car and look at the u-joint that's on the steering column. There's a torx screw that needs to be tightened. You can get a torx socket set at any hardware store.

The exact same thing happened to me - I tightened the screw up as far as it would go, and voila! Steering was tight as a virgin on prom night.

well i just went and checked the rag joint, and the u-joint inside and the one in the engine bay......one in engine bay seems to have some play......but i think it is the rack.......can they be rebuilt........

sorry to hijack your thread, but i just figured i would save more stress on their already stressed servers

Anyone else tried this yet??? I'm getting sick of the play in my steering. I was going to buy the $250 solid steering shaft from maximum motorsports, but I think I'll try this first.
