THE-ZCamaro99

Well, as the title says my steering is a little loose. When im going straight down the road i can wiggle the steering wheel and the car is still going straight. Not really sure what would fix this, but it seems to be getting worse. I deffinatly want to get this fixed before i take it down the track this summer. Any help is greatly appreciated.

my is still like that after I did my header install when I moved the steering joints (dont' know what they are called ?) out of the way. I guess I didn't tighten it enough and its still like that, kind of annoying but I'm not going to touch it until I have work on other stuff under the car

mines all stock (as i know of) i just bought the car last summer and havnt done anything to it except a Magnaflow CB. So im just guessing that something is getting worn out but not really sure where to start replacing parts.

Try tightening the bolt on the steering arm, if its loose at all it will cause bump steer issues.

My guess:

You relocated the intermediate shaft and this changed the angles of the u joints in the shaft.

Have someone move the wheel back and forth and check to see if the u joints are binding.

Worth a shot and its free to do. I thought my intermediate shaft was messed up but I pulled it and it was tight as anything.

The pinch bolts for that intermediate steering shaft have to be tight as hell. I use a 1/2 ratchet and tightened that puppy way past where I thought I should have to get rid of the slop.

If it's never been apart, then I would look at the tie rod ends for play.
