too much play in the steering wheel
I drove the son's newly acquired 1993 Ford Escort Wagon 1.9L (81k mi.) and noticed there is probably 6 inches of steering wheel travel before you feel the wheels turning. No weird noises or movement other than what I think are struts doing their thing. Vehicle runs great, Tires are in good shape and not wearing unevenly and it had the left Axle/CV Joint replaced this weekend, as it was making noises while turning, but that didn't fix the steering problem. Is this a Rack & Pinion steering system? What would cause this?
