My steering wheel just developed a significant wobble. It moves several degrees left/right and up/down. The bolt holding the wheel to the splines is tight. The splined shaft itself is moving. I suspect that the bearings that hold the steering shaft have loosened up. Does anyone know the procedure for tightening them?

if you remove the steering wheel and column switches, you will see a crush type bearing that is fitted around the shaft.
It does wear out. it gets replaced, there are no adjustments. Also look at your wheel bearing and ball joints to make sure that the problem is truely in the steering wheel. pelican parts sell the crush type bushing. Good luck. Rich |
