I have noticed some play in the steering wheel that didn't used to be there. I think it is in the steering coupler under the gas tank. I am in the process of replacing my gas tank and the old one is removed. How much of the steering linkage must be removed to check this coupler? Big job? Will the steering rack have to come off?

I guess I lucked out. I crawled under the dash (No easy feat these days) and found the upper clamp on the "U" joint was finger loose. Tightened it up and fixed the problem. Too bad it's not always that easy. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
