[Shotimes] Loose Steering Rack

[Kevin & Cheryl Airth]

Really are 2 ways to fix this. Michael's way which adds shims to eliminate
the slop or the directions I have which is to dimple the sides in to reduce
the slop but it's much more work than adding shims. I think both methods
work and of course there is a safety issue with reducing the collapsible
shafts ability to move in and out during a crash?

> Also try looking at the collapsible section of the steering column.

> Get yourself plenty of light in the foot well and look closely at the
collapsible section as you move the steering wheel from side to side a bit.
>
> There is a smaller squarelike shaft inside another slightly bigger
squarelike shaft.  See how these two shafts move together, or not, as you
move the SW from side to side.

> Mine had quite a bit of play in it.  I stuffed some spacing material in
there (two safety clips I believe and then tightened them in place with an
small adjustable clamp).
