If you have had play in your wheel and know what the solution is, read on. Thanks.
With 46k miles on my 04 Cobra , the steering has developed more play than desirable. When I bought the car with 8K miles it was tight as a whistle, now it's as loose as a goose. A Ford technician told me that it was supposed to have play in the wheel, which is wrong. This isn't a 77 F150, it's an SVT Cobra. There is not supposed to be play in the wheel, and there was none when I bought it. I read in a post on modularfords that the rag joint wears out on the steering shaft. Has anybody had this covered under warranty? How much for a new rag joint? It was also recommended that I buy a maximum motorsports solid steering shaft (Maximum Motorsports :: The Leader In Mustang Performance Suspension) but they cost $250. Has anyone installed an aftermarket steering shaft.
