got a wobbly steering wheel on my EF, the car doesn't wander and the wheel alignment is fine, but I can move the steering wheel freely for about 3" left to right, 1.5" either side of centre, what could be the cause of it.
check to make sure the universal joint in the steering column isn't worn too much. I had that problem with my EF a while back (my steering was very sloppy), i got the universal joint replaced and it fixed the problem.
doesn't stike as a loose uni but I'll check it, I have noticed that it seems more direct in than it usaully almost gocart like, not a bad thing if I can remove the slack, I have front to backed the tyre not long ago, wonder if that had anything to do with it.
just an update for anyone that may have the some problem, I pulle dthe intermidiate link today, and both uni's at each end are stuff, not loose but stiff and grabby, so looks like I have get a new link and top uni assembly
