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 |

I just had mine rebuilt, and it's better but not perfect. I was told that something in my column wallowed out, the torx bolts were barely loose.... would a pair of Jason's pins fix all of the tilt slop?
In this old thread (http://ls1tech.com/forums/general-maintenance-repairs/1726385-steering-column-help.html) the guy said he replaced the lower column housing with GM PN 26016589, but I never ordered the part. |
