What is the slight rotational oscillations of the steering wheel resulting from the interaction of tires on the road surface?
The slight rotational oscillations of the steering wheel, often referred to as "steering wheel feedback" or "road feel," occur due to the interaction between the tires and the road surface. As the tires navigate over uneven terrain, changes in grip and resistance create vibrations that are transmitted through the steering system. This feedback can enhance driver awareness and control but may also indicate issues like misalignment or tire wear if excessively pronounced. Properly functioning steering systems can help mitigate undesirable oscillations while maintaining a responsive driving experience.
What causes steering wheel to loosen up?
When your steering becomes and loose and woolly, your steering box is normally the culprit. Over time, the cogs in the box will wear slightly and loosen from each other. There are set screws on the box to help minimize this effect without needed to buy a new box. however, the adjustment is slight without locking the steering up, so you may just need to get a new box. Also, low power steering fluid can cause this. Check your level and pump.

After each adjustment, test the steering feel by turning the wheel and checking for play. Repeat as necessary until the desired steering response is achieved without excessive tightness.
How do you adjust the excess play in the steering wheel from the steering gear box?
I just looked this up online and found a pretty good website. Although I havnt tried to do it yet on my own corvette I probably will within the hour http://www.diynetwork.com/diy/ar_1962_corvette/article/0,,DIY_13704_2278440,00.HTML this is the URL as well as some of the directions from the sitethe next step in this restoration is to adjust the Corvette's steering using the steering-box located underneath the hood. An earlier test-drive revealed that the steering wheel exhibited some play during driving. Since the other steering components have been checked and found to be in good shape, the play may be due to wear in the gears inside the steering box.The Corvette's steering box permits adjustment of these gears, which may well solve the steering problem. Adjustment of the steering requires two people, but the job can be done in just a few minutes.The steering box is unlocked using an open-end wrench and a screwdriver extended through a factory hole in the fiberglass body. To adjust the steering, unlock the nut with about a quarter-turn, then adjust the steering using a slotted screwdriver (figure H).As one person sits in the drivers seat and turns the steering wheel in slight increments, another person can adjust the steering (figure I) until the excess play is removed.Important: Avoid over-tightening the steering-box mechanism, as this may cause binding of the steering.
Why would your power steering not work right?
Your car is out of, or low on power steering fluid. (make sure you buy the proper steering fluid for your car, ex: Honda's only safely take Honda steering fluid)Check the following Once you have checked the fluid level and the problem persists, rev the engine slightly to see if the steering improves. If it does, it means the flow rate of your pump is low and needs attention/replacement. If it doesn't improve, have your pump tested by a power steering repair shop. There is a slight possibility of there being a problem in your rack if the shaft teflon is damaged or the teflon rings in the spool valve have worn grooves into the housing. www.powerbrakeandsteering.co.za
