The steering wheel did not stay centered and the position would change. I noticed that when I was stopped and the steering wheel was locked that the steering wheel had some movement from side to side. I checked the steering wheel lock down nut and it was tight. The steering wheel has a spline bushing that matches up with a matching spline on the shaft so I could not see how this could move. I removed the locking nut so I could see the where the steering wheel and shaft connect together. With the nut off I noticed that the spline bushing did not move but the steering wheel did move on the bushing. There was a potential danger of the steering wheel coming loose so that I would lose control or worse yet the steering wheel could come completely off the column. This problem can easily be checked as I did with the steering wheel in the locked position. If you have any movement of the steering wheel in the locked position get it checked immediately.
