1978 SPORT 15 has Loose Mechanical Steering

Postby Deewazz » Wed Sep 21, 2016 11:23 am

The helm steering on my 1978 15 Sport is apparently original: stainless wheel and black metal bezel. The steering wheel has about 10-percent play when moving it left to right, and at certain engine speeds, it rattles if not being held. Is there any adjustment point on the steering assembly? It is most likely Teleflex manufacture.
