Tighten That Nut Behind The Wheel!

[Don McAdams]

Tightened the 32mm nut on the steering shaft around the firewall/ floor (inside the car)- got about 10 good turns out of it- WoW, drives like a new car, no more road vibrations- I've always heard you guys talk about "the nut on the steering column base", never knew until today- Was very surprised it was that loose!

Anyway, thanks for the tip guys

That's it- Thanks Bill! Now I can go back out tomorrow & check for play! Had no idea about that!

Thanks for the pic!

It's well worth checking that one often. Mines always going loose.

How tight do you tighten it?

until the telescoping option gets snug to push and pull out.

I swear I was ignoring this post (not reading) because I was insinuating you meant the driver behind the wheel! Thanks for the post. I'll check tomorrow.

Thanks for the picture, Bill, I've wanted to check mine but for some reason I kept missing it, thinking it was much higher up the shaft.

I've never tightened it, but the telescoping option is pretty snug already.
