Where do you think the play is,it could be anywhere along the steering system.But try the ball joints on the steering rack,the u/v joint on the steering rack to steering column.And also watch for u/v joint on the inside of the bulk head on the steering column.and bearings on the steering column behind the steering wheel all points of wear.

Erratic shifting mercury villager 2001?

My mechanic says the problem might be inside the steering column, some plastic parts and gears or whatever. I thought it might be a cable or the tranny. He says no, its where the shift lever contacts the actuators in the steering column. Bottom line, either get the innards for the steering column and pay to have them changed, or change the whole steering column. The problem has plagued mercury's for ever. Marquis were "shifting from park into reverse all by themselves, and rolling over children in the driveway". I stopped at a sausage cart the other day, and was standing there waiting for my food, and the lady said, "Your van is rolling away." I had to catch it, and then stop it, then get into it and try to shift it into park. The fix, is new parts inside the column, or a new column. Why? Because, sometimes the shifter sticks in park, and people reef on it to get it into gear, and the plastic parts inside the steering column break. Sometimes it is hard to find DRIVE. I think I'm in drive but really I'm in 2nd. So I keep looking for a new steering column, so I can get the parts, or replace the whole column. It's really a time bomb.

Your turn signal and hazard stop working on your 2000 sebring convertible?

If your fuses have checked out to be good, you'll need to check your relay, located on the steering column. First you'll have to remove the top steering column cover. It is held on by two screws, which are located on the bottom of the column. Remove the two screws, and pull the top, steering column cover off. Now, look for a small, black box. This is the relay. It is removed, just by pulling it out. It has appoximately five prongs on the bottom. After removing it,you may be able to tap the relay firmly, put it back, and it may work. Recommended, replace with new relay.
