I have a 93 ramcharger 4X4 with excessive steering whell
play. Question: Is there any adjustment that can correct
this problem.

 

OK #1 have someone turn the stearing wheel.. just have them move it very gently.. look for play at all joints....#2 open the hood and inslect the stearing shaft.. then move the st wh again very lightly .. if both are in good shape get someone that can adj the nut and screw on top of the st unit .. if u do it ur self mark the screw and nut w/ a marker... so u can put it back where u started..qp

 

First I must thank you for answering my query.
Opened the hood and checked steering shaft.
The whole unit turns about one inch off center.
According to print of steering gear, there appears
to be a adjustment on top of unit. Is this the
screw that u are referring to?? I have a bad
back and am too damn old to crawl under
vehicle. Will have to get my nephew to come
down and do adjustment.

Do not adjust the adjusting screw until you have looked elsewhere for the problem. Improper adjustment of the screw can lead to steering malfuctions.

 

Thank you for information. My nephew is a
diesel mechanic adnd I am sure will check
complete steering mech. Again thank you
