You can type in steering into the search feature and find a lot of info.

Short story..had dealer replace the steering shaft as its joint had slop in it. Got car back and drove it home and it was sloppier than when I took it in!
Remember from my jeep days that yoke is different metal than shaft so they expand at different temps.

Don't believe me ? Mark the position of the bolt/nut , then loosen 2-3 turns , then tighten it back up. As long as you count the turns properly, you will surpass your original Mark. And take up slack in the yoke-to-shaft.

Of course you could have the small u- joint in the shaft going bad also.....
