    If it is play in the box, sometimes you can take it up by tweaking the screw on top. Turn the wheel over about a full turn, loosen the locknut while holding the screw, then turn the screw in a bit till you feel some resistance. Should be less than a turn. Back off 1/4 turn from where you get resistance and lock the nut down again. See if the wheel is tighter without binding. If it binds, back the screw off another 1/4 turn.

      Ive never checked a rebuilt one. I know that new they aint cheap, with the core charge and everything. Hmmm maybe I will look into a rebuilt one, cuz that steering wheel really gets to me sometimes kinda takes away some of the enjoyment of driving the car having to keep her on track all the time.
      If I only ever drove a car if it provided driving enjoyment, I doubt I'd ever drive!

        lol what are you talking about, I didnt say I wont drive it unless I enjoy it. I said it takes some of the enjoyment out of driving the car. And yes I do very much enjoy driving my P71.
