You are probably correct. I'm betting your bouncing steering wheel is due to a missing steering column bushing. I had the same problem myself and replacing it fixed the errant wheel. It's a rubber ring that holds the column in place as it passes through the firewall. Get underneath the column with a flashlight and see if it is there. > Message: 4 > Date: Tue, 16 Apr 2002 00:44:47 -0000 > From: "cpgny9" <cpgny9@xxxx> > Subject: steering wheel bounce/determinig speedometer problem > > Since I purchased my D., the steering wheel bounces and clangs at > high speeds and when I am applying the brake and slowing down.
