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 |

Yeah, mine had gotten so bad, and after attempted the torx screw "fix"and finding that there was no improvement I tore the column down to see what was causing the issue. The holes in the aluminum knuckles were enlarged. So I had a few sets of prototype pins made and figured out the best size. We're now offering them as a single pin or a pair.
The reason for this is that for those of you with only a slight issue, the left side pin is easy to get to and only requires about 30 minutes of work. To do both pins takes significantly longer, but will result in less column slop. Thanks for the post update Tom. Jason |
