Unfortunately, it isn't the Brake warning light. That's the red light over
the steering column. This is a white light on the dash over the steering
column. It appears to be some sort of courtesy light.
<< I'd try slipping in a screwdriver into the small universal joint in the
steering column just above the steering rack itself and turning the wheel
until the shaft jams. It should be very tight at that point. If you have
any more play but the screwdriver and rack don't turn, then you have play
in the upper column or in this joint. Try doing the same thing this time,
but instead turn the wheels by grabbing a tire and twisting it back and
forth. See if the wheels stop hard or if they still have play in the
system. Doing this test will give you a chance to see which end still has
the play in it. >>
I'll try that thanks.
