Hello all,
I'm guessing that I need to have my front end re-done. My steering wheel has at least 2 inches of play in either direction as I'm driving down the road. Is there a "How To" manual or video out there that can help me do this job at home? I read on some of the other posting that I might be hard to find the needed parts. Do anybody sell a rebuilding kit that would have all the needed bushing and rubber parts that need to be replaced?

Any suggestions would be great...Thanks!

Why not identify the source of the free play? Have your wife or girl friend turn the steering wheel back and forth in the free play region and observe/feel all the linkage connection points. It could be that your steering box needs adjustment (easy) or you might have play in the idler box or tie rod ends.
