when the wheel is straight there is a fair amount of play. How can i fix this!!!????
Thanks

get someone else to wiggle the steering wheel and look where the movement is, may be steering box, or any combination of bushes/joints in the steering.

How much play? 20mm is factory amount of play in steering box. There is an adjusting screw on top of the steering box in the engine bay, clockwise will tighten steering up. Wear in the tierod ends will cause play.

Your always faster than me tyrie!

do you mean play as in the you can turn it round and it has slop or does it move in the shaft itself if its slop do what white sedan said if its in the shaft check the rubber bush at the top of the steering wheel hasnt worn out

also if it moves around more then half way each way..

u prob broke the bearing collasple shaft =]

i did it in mine,,

search engine is ur best friend too..

i found all my info there..

Thanks for that i will get some 1 to help me see if i can find some movement
Cheers

Its only about 20mm of play but when its on the road going in a straight line it will sometimes jump to one side

Sounds like yourt idler arm bush ia rooted. That will cause your car to wander at will.

how much will one of those set me back

Not much. they are prone to choppiing out the facory bushes. Ring a parts shop and price up new ones. Should only cost around $25.
