My steering has play in it
Hello All. Need a little help.
I have a 2000 frc and the steering seems to have a little play in it. I have read that there is a bolt that needs to be tightend to get rid of the play but i am not sure what it looks like and where it is. Can someone help me find it
Thanks
Jerome

Jerome,
My 01 coupe had the same problem..say 3/4" of rotational play at the steering wheel. Look into the engincompartment on the drivers side and follow the steering shaft until you get to a simple, folded steel bracket. There is a pinch bolt (I *think* its 13 mm) that needs to be tightened. I would hit it with a little PB Blaster oenetrating oil or something similar before tightening. Mine only needed about 3/4 of a turn and it snugged right up.
