Hey all, I very been driving my truck for a little while, and my steering wheel has at least 1/16" of lateral play in the horn bearing support. Is this normal? The bearing is relatively new. Sometimes it feels like I'm going to rip the steering wheel right off.

Its side to side, not axial. I bought the bearing from Jim Carter, dont remember if it was a reman or new.

You didn't say what year it is. Some models have a spring under the steering wheel that keeps pressure on the brg. If that is missing it will cause this.


They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.
