Hi

Driving in a straight line I can turn my steerng wheel around 10 maybe 15 degrees to the left and right without changing the direction of the car. Is this normal for a 740?

I have a relatively new steering rack, there's no sound when turning and the steering is not stiff.

Thanks for any opinion.

Aslan

Definitely; send the hunchback out to tighten the clamps on the steering u-joints.
