You didn't give near enough information here, is your wheel loose on the shaft? Did you have it off? Is the airbag off? what are the circimstances behind your question and we can help you better....

oh sorry i kind of assumed you guys would figure it was stock and alot of miles.
it is stock i havent touched it, so normal aging. it has about 130,000 miles on it. its an 03. the steering is fine. other than just being a little less tight than we want. the airbag is on i would assume. and i never had it off. the power steering fluid is fine too.

Also have a look at the upper suspension links. I had one that developed a "loose" spot going straight ahead. Tie-rods ended up being fine, but the play in the upper suspension links would caused some free-play.

The steering rack has some adjustment to take care of center play. The adjustment will bring the pinion closer to the rack, eliminating some play and noise. Do not overtighten for the steering wheel will lock while turning.

How do you adjust the rack in this case? My pinion has developed some play against the rack. Thanks
