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 |

Yes, they will fix the slop. The column housing is what wallows out, Jason's pins are oversized to compensate for the larger holes. My column was really bad, you could pull it down with one finger. The previous owner really loved to pull on the wheel I guess. I only replaced the pins and its a 100% improvement. My torx screws were all tight, the only issue with the column was the pins.
