Re: Steering wheel movement

[Glenn Merrell <gmerrel@domain.elided>]

Hello Andy,
	Before you go tearing down the steering column, check the bolts that hold the
column clamp to the bottom of the dash.  If these come loosened, you will get
about 1/4 inch play top/bottom/left/right.  Also make sure the loay is not the
columnm clamp itself which can be adjusted to hold the column tighter if it does
not clamp correctly.

Happy Holidays!

Regards,
Glenn  Merrell
