Hi All !


When I first got my car , it was doing the same thing that everyone is talking about in this thread. Mine had a least 2 inches of play in the steering wheel. I first replaced the Idler Arm and tried to adjust the steering box a bit, this helped some , but not quite what I had been hoping for. I then replaced the Tie Rods and had the front end lined up. This still did not take all of the play out of the steering wheel. Two weeks ago I replaced the Steering Damper or (Shock) and I can now go down the road without wandering all over. It is my belief that replacing just one of the above items will not solve the wandering problem. It takes a combination of replacement of all of these parts to completely make it drive like a new one.
