I have an 01 firebird. Last time to the track for some HPDE, the steering columm/wheel started to move a bit when I would turn the wheel hard into a corner. It is moving at the area of where the tilt section of the columm. Is this a common problem? More inportantly, is there an easy fix? Bushings, etc.
If memory serves me right, It pulls down and to the right a bit to the point where it affects your concentration a little in the turns. I don't think anything is going to break, but I would like to fix it to feel a little more confident. Thanks in advance, Ed |

Thanks in advance, Ed When we use the steering wheel to help hold us in the seat/driving position, it wears out the bushings. as does getting in and out of the car pulling on the wheel. My fix was to install a junkyard column. Talk to Alan Blaine if you want to try to fix yours. I found it a very tough project...hence the new column. |
