Steering wheel loose?
I was wiggling my steering wheel this morning before driving to work and found a slight clunk and freeness wiggling it front to back..... Should I remove the airbag and try tightening the wheel or could this be something else? Not a huge concern but, definately would like to fix it.

There is a steering shaft bolt that connects it to the pinion shaft... check the torque on that. I can't remember it's size and it takes a large extension to get to it. In some cases it can come loose and casue clunking and freeplay.
If you don't track the car it's the most likely cause.

It's a 13mm bolt.
