Hey folks quick question, How much play should we have in our steering? My car tends to wander on the highway. And there is a clunk in the in the steering column,when I turn the wheel. Oh I have about 2 in. of play this seems like a lot to me. I had a Camaro (sorry!) that had about the same amount (or more.)
OK maybe I need to tell a little more. I had an alignment job done on it about a year ago. The wheel wasn't centered,and I thought the shop might notice something wrong. The wheel is better,but it's still sloppy. My car was in a accident by a previous owner. (found out about that from CARFAX,later of course) And also I have a black car with a RED k-member. the car also has 156+K. miles. dont know much about rack and pinion, but I wonder if the rack is shot.
Wasted steering shafts are common problems in our cars as well. I would check the rubber rag joint to see if it's wasted.
