I always had a very little play in steering, but during my last drive I noticed it had become a bit worse.
I have opened the covers in the trunk and wanted to tighten those bolts at the connectors but they were very tight.
Slightly wobbling the steering showed me nothing in there.
So I removed the plastic cover directly behind the steering wheel (with the ignition inside) there I noticed the cause.
There is a yellow-ish ring around the shaft. On 2 sides there is a groove where in each one a flat metal pin sits. This had about a millimeter play.
I put a picture here.
I hope to get 2 answers:
That that part easy to get?
The steering wheel moves Freely 3/4 of an inch. Is that still safe to drive?
I have an appointment at DMC EU in 4 weeks. Should I leave the car in the garage or it it ok for a drive meanwhile as the season is ending?
Or is is a risk to loose complete controll?
