Why is my steering wheel so loose?
 

I have tilt steering but the wheel moves quite I bit. I guess you could call it "slop". How do I tighten it up? Do I have to pull the wheel or can I get to it from the underside of the coulumn?

I'd like to know how to fix this too. Mine has some "slop" in it too. i just figured it was from the tilt steering... I hope someone can answer this..

If you take the cover off the column, you will see a little bolt on the left hand side, that is the culprit... tighten that and all will be well!!! http://www.mustangworks.com/interact...oard/smile.gif

I fixed this today!!! The fix is fairly easy too.. Just take off the cover, and the piece that controls the turn signals (two torx screws in it) and then the two 1/2" bolts one's on top and one's on the bottom of the column, those are what I tightened, and no more slop!!!
