Title: C4 Steering Wheel Movement
Post by: Jethro on December 12, 2007, 07:20:40 AM
Sorry, New to forum When I looked last in subject description/message of what I wrote was wrong was still here? anyway here I go again>>
The new Vette I bought has steering wheel movement. As though who ever used it used to lever off the steering wheel when getting out of car.... The steering column / wheel moves /flex's in the column. Is this a common thing in Right hand conversion with Vettes? The car has a mirror conversion completed by Corvette Clinic in QLD.

Regards, Jethro

Think you need to be a bit more specific in what you are asking

Hi Jethro;42
Your problem is common with corvettes with tilt columns;30, your tilt pivots are worn or the column is loose internally, remedy is to get your steering column serviced/repaired by someone who knows what to do and has done them before. Often the hubs where the column pivots has to be sleeved.
Hope this helps:x
