Steering looseness 700 1987

Hi folks,

I've posted about this before, but I'm still perplexed. I'm hoping for a little bit more help.

It appears as if the steering wheel is loose on the column - control is tight, and predictable, but if I wiggle the wheel back and forth rapidly, I get a 'click' that seems to be based in the upper steering column. When I do my 'wiggle test' the tires wiggle, too - and not just when I reach the click, but all through the narrow range in between. So I am pretty sure my steering gear and tie rods and bushings are tight. Like I said, it seems to me that it's in the column. I always thought that one of my u-joints was loose, but I never was able to quantify it.

How do I go about investigating the problem?

Thanks!

Ari
