Steering column play
#1
![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Folks, Can someone describe the mounting of the steering column on a 95 XJS Conv. I have up and down play and a little side to side play in no matter what angle/height adjustment I put it in. This model has the release lever on the column underside that when released, I can tilt the wheel up or down, but not in or out. There is considerable play up and down relative to the dashboard. Steering is tight but with this play, I can feel it being a little loosey goosey just because of the column mounting play or the adjustment mechanism play.
Thanks
Thanks

Correct. Up and down play. A good 1/4 to 3/8 ". If you just place your hand under the wheel bottom and just lift up, it has the play. A little less if you rock it side to side. No matter what tilt position. Yes, aware of no in and out position(telescoping).

...or is there some other part of this assembly that could cause up and down and/or side to side play?

Arrow showing the pin(s). Is it one long pin that can be driven out straight through?
