Since I didn't get a reply in one of the earlier post, I'll repeat the question in hope that some nice and experienced people will see it this time:

"I just checked that nut behind the steering wheel today, and it was VERY tight - I couldn't do anything with it. I watched the steering box while turning the steering wheel, and it seems that there is no play between the wheel and the shaft that goes directly into the steering box, but there's still play noticable while driving! Is my steering box shot?"

Anyone?

P.S. The telescoping thingy functions normally?
