Steering bolts loose??
So i rotated my tires yesterday and as i drove home from where i did it at i noticed that above 60mph i had a wobble in the front end that felt just like a broken tie rod. So i took it to firestone to get an aligment hoping that if anything was bad that they would notice and let me know what is going on. They came back and told me that there are some bolts in my steering column that need to be tightened. I dont understand how rotating my tires i can go from solid steering to loose wobbly steering. Anyone have this happen or heard of this? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

You would have to ask them what they found. Chances are they're one or more of the pinch bolts that clamp the universal joint yokes to the splined shafts. Also, there are bolts inside the car that hold a "U" clamp around the column and to the bottom of the dash, but I doubt that is what they were talking about.
