loose steering



Group:

I know this has been adressed before (about 2 yrs. ago I think), but, is there a test for the u-joints in the steering mechanism? Everytime I drive my car I can't help but feel like it is not as tight as it should be. My everyday car is a Firebird. It is pretty tight steering, but should not be "better" than my D. Presently, it is MUCH better. I usually tell myself that it is just pwer steering vs. manual steering. But when I go over railroad tracks it feels like the steering wheel is "sloppy". (P.S. I also owned a Chevette for 4 years with manual steering and it was "tighter" than my D.) My car only has 21,000 miles and it is hard to believe that the u-joints are worn already. I have tried to twist each end and look for slop, but I don't see or feel any. I only feel it when driving. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
