It’s not so bad, especially if you can do that job yourself.

In my case I don’t know how to do it, so I need to pay maybe extra $300.

Well let’s hope it is nothing very serious or costly for you.

Probably taking it to a good mechanic for diagnosing might be a clever place to start now that you have some ideas of what it could be.

Good luck with that !

My friend mechanic fixed this problem for me. It was upper steering shaft. You were right, guys!

No more steering wheel backlash!
