I'm not entirely sure what could cause the problem. I would probably jack up the front end. Then, I would try to move the tires side to side to see if the linkage has worn out. Just a thought. |

My 89 with 220,000 miles has a plain old loose steering gear. See if
the wheel will move excessively w/o moving the steering linkage. That
isolates it pretty fast.
