Not the actual column itself, but the shaft inside it. Currently, I can move my steering wheel in and out about an inch (Not good.) But it steers fine. Is there an adjustment nut under the hood, or is it in the column in the cab? Your help is appreciated. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2005 Posts: 96 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Sep 2005 Posts: 96 | you'd probably have to replace the bushings in the shaft. they're pretty worn from 50 odd years of use | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | yeah, the steering box needs a rebuild, where there'll be bearings to replace
