Default Anybody else on here have or had this problem??

Ok well heres the deal. Lets say for the sake of saying that this is not a alignment issue. Im having alot of play in the steering wheel of my car.. like i can wiggle the steering left to right and the car barly moves. The steering is very sloppy (best word I can think to decribe it). i wanted to know what u guys might think it is. Also if someone has had this and fixed it how and what did u do?

Thanks LS1Tech

It's probably the steering rack bushings. Easy fix.

But, it could also be an alignment issue - probably one of your lower ball joints and/or the lower control arm bushings.
