I'm installing a new pump cause my dumb ass dropped the dipstick in now she whines but I've always had hella play in my steering. I think its the bushings. In the shaft. Is it hard to reintall a new colum? What about differrent tilts? Its a 91 hatch. Do I just need. Any tilt steering from a fox?

Also check your rack bushings when they wear out you get some play in the steering wheel.

So I got the play from up and down out. Now left to right. I gotta find. I tried to see if its in my actual steering wheel bushing in front. But It might be the rack.
