Re: Steering play and a hot under dash light bulb unit

Thanks very much to all for your prompt response, shared experience and advice.

We had the car on the lift last week to check the steering linkages, shims, suspension and steering wheel play vs the front wheel movement. We made the adjustment at the top of the box. The fluid in the box was low and dirty so we took care of that as well but after all that the steering still had a lot of play. I will go over all your suggestions to make sure we have not missed anything and will keep on plugging!!

Thanks also for the observations on the unit that is heating up under the dash. It may well be an add-on switch of some sort but I can't find anyway to turn it off and it burns if you touch it when the car is running. I see the wires coming into the back of the little unit but no switching mechanism so I will have to continue my detective work!!

Thanks to all. Any more thoughts are very welcome!
