[QUOTE="nautica1973, post: 392910, member: 4949"] 7833, best as i can advise is that those 3 items mentioned above all have a role to play in the freeplay issue you are experiencing. I once had the mechanic tighten the pressure in the steering rack by turning a knob located on the rack itself to prevent the freeplay but this in turn led to a heavier feel of the steering and a lack of "freewheeling" (the motion of your steering rotating back on its own when you take a 180 degree turn). You may attempt this or have your mechanic advise you as to how best to rectify the freeplay you are experiencing. [/QUOTE]
