RE: FTE Perf - Wobbly steering wheel again... ======================================================================= ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Thu, 12 Aug 1999 18:15:04 EDT From: ACMERCG AOL.COM Subject: FTE Perf - Wobbly steering wheel again... It's happened again... I rebuilt the steering column last summer, replacing nearly all the moving parts on the shaft. After some mild trail running last weekend, it seems that the bearings have gone again. I already ordered the parts I need since I still have the recipt from last year. Is there anything that I can do about this? How do you get a manufacturer to have a recall? NTSB? This is really a saftey issue because if turned the wrong way the steering wheel will lock up and bind, causing possible loss of control, unless some serious force is applied. Who else had this happened to? I know there were a couple of guys, maybe 4 or 5 who contacted me last year about this. I'd like to know what my options are because It is really a pain in the ass to take apart those tilt columns.

I'm guessing this isn't really a common problem unless it occurs when you were off-roading in which case its not really a "highway" issue ... it does seem odd that you would have this problem twice in a year, what about install procedures ? Everything torqued down exactly right the first time ? One thing that can cause this is a shifted cab, or weak cab mounts, if yours are sagging there will be pressure on the steering column and the bearings will have quite a load on them ... something to check anyway ...
