I have been trying to fix some issues with a Gen 2 GTM that I recently bought. This car has a tilt steering column, not the telescopic. One thing that has been driving me up the wall as I drive the car, I have this play in the steering wheel, there is about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch where you move the steering wheel from side to side and nothing happens. I though the problem was in the rack and pinion, but I was just in the car and noticed that the issue is not the rack. If I grab the steering tube that is under the dash and hold it still, I can move the steering wheel from side to side. So the issue has to be somewhere inside the column where the shaft that comes out of the firewall goes into the steering column. Looking under there I can see the shaft coming from the steering column, just slides into the bigger shaft that goes to the firewall. There is not a great fit there, and that is where the play is at. Can this be somehow eliminated?
