Hi all,

I have been tracking down sloppy steering. With everything replaced it still felt like the rack had a dead spot.

Well, after closer inspection, the steering wheel hub was worn. I have a Momo wheel so i ordered the replacement.

I wish the shaft was splined though.

Anyone still having problems, check the wheel/shaft mount. (Hub)

just thought i would share. Seems like this is easy to overlook.

^^This. If you're still using the stock coupler, that piece of rubber is about 20 years old now.

No rag joint. That went in the garbage a while ago. I have the MM shaft.
