The Suzuki Carry DB51T and DD51T incorporate an Idler Arm in its steering assembly. The Idler Arm uses a rubber bushing with a metal outer casing which must be pressed out or, knocked out with a socket of correct diameter and hammer.
Symptoms are typically play at the steering wheel and/or a metal knock on bumpy surfaces. Visit Mini Truck Supply on line to see an exploded view of the steering assembly and to order a new replacement bushing.

What it would cost to fix your steering column depends on what is wrong with it and you did not tell us. The tilt steering column in my 1989 GMC Suburban became loose in the tilt mechanism. I was quoted as much as $125.00 to fix it, but I shopped around and got it repaired for $60.00. Unless your steering column has the same problem that number is probably useless. I would suggest you call several shops and get a quite to fix it.

how do you fix play in a 1997 mercury mountainer steering wheel
By loose, I assume you mean that the entire steering column is loose. That requires you to remove the steering wheel (wheel puller required) and also digging through several layers of electrical components: first layer is the turn signal. second layer is the ignition. third layer is the high beam. After the third layer, you should see 4 torx bit screws that secure the steering column. Tighten those torx bit screws and the column will no longer move up and down. If you mean the steering wheel is loose, as in there is a lot of play in the turning, then you need to adjust the rack and pinion in the engine bay.

While having a helper turning the steering back and forth, look under the front and see if you can see any loose tie rods, trac bars, etc...
