On my old 1994 E150 with 276000 miles on it the steering is really loose. Is there a way to tighten it?

I had to replace mine to tighten it up. Haven't ever heard anything about tightening it up unless you rebuilt it somehow. __________________ Eric Ford 1992 E-350, 6,900 lbs.

I tightened the one on my 1995 e350 psd. There is a "set screw" with a nut. The nut is loosened and the screw turned in (clockwise) untill steering wheel has less play - then tighten the lock nut. Trail and error will rule as you don't want to over tighten the set screw. __________________ 1995 E350 PSD cargo - No Mods to date - likes to go camping with the black lab and wife - pulls the boat real good!
