obvious: did u remember the spring? did the o clip that keeps the spring in fall out/break? not obvious: is the rag joint installed properly? if its the orij. rag joint, its found home and needs to be put back into orij position/replaced. |

Re: How do i fix a loose steering wheel
Its more like a wooble loose. If thats a word. Haha... I think its the race that goes over the upper spindle bearing. But im not sure how to seat it back down over it. The spring and clip are in.

Re: How do i fix a loose steering wheel
Very possible that you lost some or all of the bearings in the upper bearing below where the spring is at. The seat that that the spring sits on holds the upper bearing in place.

Re: How do i fix a loose steering wheel
The wheels dont have any play in them. Just the steering wheel.
