How do you adjust the free play in the steering wheel on a 1998 Chevy Suburban 4X4 5.7 L?
You can adjust the steering box some. Or possible ball joint problems. If the problem is lurches and surges in the steering (can feel like loose idler arm, loose ball joints, etc.), one common cause is a faulty steering position sensor. This $60 sensor at the base of the steering column (inside the vehicle) tells the variable assist power steering how fast you are turning the steering wheel.

What could cause a 1984 Dodge d100 manual steering to not work steering wheel just spins and spins what could it be?
there could be a few reasons for this . the steering wheel splines could be striped , try turning he wheel and see if the steering rod turns where it goes into the the lower part near the steering box if not take the steering wheel off and check the splines on the column.. if it does spin there maybe the possability that the box is bad inside the gears may have split. - many of these trucks also used a system with a coupler on the gearbox that looks like a stamped steel socket, inside that socket are pieces that resemble "dog bones" often either the coupler itself is severely worn or the pin and etc associated with the dog bones are busted or worn, i would check this before attempting removal of the steering wheel itself. follow the steering rod from the firewall down to the gearbox and then attempt to manually turn this rod with your hand....parts for the set-coupler and the "guts" are under $50

How do you remove a steering column from 1984 Corvette?
The steering column is energy absorbing and is designed to compress in a front-end collision to minimize the possibility of an injury to the driver of the car. Once the steering column is removed from the car, the column is extremely susceptible to damage. Dropping the column on its end could collapse the steering shaft or loosen the plastic injections which maintain column rigidty. Leaning on the column assembly could cause the jacket to bend or deform. Any of the above could impair the column's collapsible design. Use a standard wheel puller and never hammer on the end of the shaft. # Disconnect the battery # Remove pinch bolt at universal coupling of intermediate shaft # Remove lower steering column attaching bolt on the dash & toe panel support # Remove 2 capsule bolts on instrument panel reinforcement assembly # Disconnect all electrical connectors from steering column # Remove steering column assembly
