Here's the adhesive you are going to need to perform this fix: amzn.to/2qo3gw7

Here's how to fix a loose, sloppy or steering wheel with excessive play in case that the cause of the problem is in your steering shaft.

In my last video I have shown you how to rebuild your steering rack and get rid of steering play in case the rack is the cause.

This time we are looking at the steering shaft.

The steering shaft actually has rubber sandwiched between two of its parts. The task of this rubber is to absorb vibrations picked up by your wheels and transferred through your rack to your steering wheel. Unfortunately as your car ages this rubber deteriorates and causes steering wheel play.

The problem is that there is not replacement part for the rubber and you need to buy the entire steering shaft. This of course is not sensible. Many car owners resort to welding the two parts of the shaft together, but this results in a lot of vibrations in your steering wheel.

The solution I have used is to remove the lower part of the steering shaft, clean it up with a wire wheel and then add some new rubber to the shaft. I have used windshield adhesive which is very durable and stiff so its and ideal replacement for the rubber in the steering wheel shaft. Many people use 3M window weld, but any windshield adhesive will work fine.

Once the windshield adhesive cures completely your steering wheel will be play free and good as new.
