Well, it would seem my last Steering Wheel thread fell threw the cracks as they some times do.

Well, I figured I'd repost it, now that I have a picture to attach with it.

The whole steering wheel set up seems rather loose. What I mean is that the wheel seems loose where it attaches inside the car. (The car is turning fine.)

I've recently noticed the steering wheel kind of "sinking" in the plastic pieces that surround the steering column. "Odd" I've thought to my self. I can lift up on the steering wheel to return it to it's former "higher" position (only slightly.)

I figured there must have been a loose screw somewhere. So I took the steering column covers off. I didn't find a screw, but I found the part that's loose.

The whole deal that the turn signal / wiper switches mount is completely loose. I can turn it over 90 degrees in either direction around the steering wheel. (Probably could do more, but the wires won't let me.) This may be nothing to worry about with out the cover mounted, but it's still too loose for my liking.

Picture of what exactly I'm talking about:


Also, the piece that is sagging is the piece that the turn signal / wiper switches mount on.

Too add to this, I've notice now when I park the car and "lock" the steering wheel, it is sure a hell of a lot more loose then it use to be. When the wheel would be locked before, that wheel wouldn't go anywhere. Now it moves quite a bit.

This has me a bit nervous.
