Noticed lately that I have a little more play than normal in the steering wheel. Checked all steering joints and they were all fine. Found the play in the lower steering joint in the vehicle. The u/j was fine but it was loose where it joined the rack. pinch bolt wasn't really loose but I tightened it really hard and the problem is cured. What I really need to know is: 1 Is this a common fault? 2 What happens if it wears a bit more and appears loose again? 3 Is it a big number to replace the joint or does the shaft wear as well? Thanks Clive
