There is a slip joint for the column to colapse but the design is such that slop isn't likely & 15 degrees isn't possible... If it's not in the coupler than my next question is are you sure it's in the column & not the box? And if it could be in the box are you checking with the engine off or the engine running? Cause engine off means you'll feel lots of what you perceive as slop but actually is the control valve opening a fluid passage in either direction....
How much play could the slip joint cause? It could it be adding to a problem elsewhere. How hard is it to check this if i pull the column?
And yes I do have it running while I check. With the car on the ground I can look from above and see the pot connector (and splined connection to box) move about 1/8 of a turn back and forth before seeing the steering arm wiggle. This does not seem right to me.
Welds are sold on the mount, I may try the gear adjustment as a last resort before pulling this NEW box.
-thanks for the advice
