When turning right, I can feel some "springy" give before the wheels start to turn. To check this out I rigged a pair of vice grips to hold the bottom end of the column shaft rigid. Then I tried turning the steering wheel, sure enough turning right there was some give for about 1/2" before it stopped against the lower shaft. Is there a spring pretensioner within the column shaft. I see there is a ball joint at the tilt point, but nothing mentioned about this.
Turning left has no give, just right.
Any ideas?
thanks
