Best Answer

A steering system of the parallelogram type is normally fitted with a steering box assembly. You should check for excessive movement in the steering box itself. This can be done by having the vehicle on the ground, and feeling the "free play" in the steering wheel with the road wheels in the straight ahead position. While watching the wheels to see how much you can move the steering wheel, before the road wheels start to move. Check this amount of movement and report any excessive movement to your supervisor.

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.


You have a 79 cj5 and the steering gets funke once you get past 30 MPH you think you need a sway bar but can't find a good fit any suggestions?

I suggest either a steering stabalizer or your steering gear box is wore out. IF your Cj has a lift kit, be sure you have axle shims to get the correct degrees of castor. Also, check your wheel bearings for play. Check your tie rods and ball joints, in addition to your steering Box, which if original is worn out. Also check your steering shaft for any play.
