Steering Wheel feels loose

I am goign to run the 87' 911 turbo up and down my street tonight when it gets dark to see if the oil smoking problem solves it's self.

When I was behind the steering wheel it was loose. I could giggle it up and down a little? Is this something that happens after time or something that needs to be tightened? I looked in the Projects 101 book but it had nothing about steering wheels.

Any info would be great.

Thanks.

-Lars

On the newer car all you have to do is change the plastic sleve at the steering column for a steel upgrade. It should take care of any play up and down. it is not hard to do specialy if the sleeve is old and britle.

Hope this helps

Click the "Tech Info Center" tab at the top of the page...Scroll down to "suspension"...Locate "Steering Wheel Bushing".

Easy, easy fix...you can do it in 15 minutes.

I looked at the link and it seems like that is the problem. I have about a 1/4 or so play in mine but I guess it is the same part.

Can someone verify that this is the part that I need to order before I order it?
