My steering wheel just developed a significant wobble. It moves several degrees left/right and up/down. The bolt holding the wheel to the splines is tight. The splined shaft itself is moving. I suspect that the bearings that hold the steering shaft have loosened up. Does anyone know the procedure for tightening them?

The single allen bolt in the collar is to keep the collar fast to the column.
If the previous does not help, then it may be time to remove your steering wheel and your turn signal assembly. I believe the nut for the wheel is 27mm. Once the wheel is removed the signal assy can be removed after it is unscrewed and unplugged. The plug is under the dash near the base of the collar. You should take out the ig switch as it is easy and possibly necessary. You should then be able to see down the shaft like in the pic. Notice the bearing around the shaft. Attached image(s) |
