Ensure you check for play with the steering in the dead ahead position. Mine feels awful in the position I normally park it in, as I sweep into the driveway and park with some lock on. Turn the steering dead ahead and it's perfectly tight.

Eliminate all other sources of play first (wishbone bushes, track rod ends, idler, etc).

Then follow the aforementioned thread.

I think we should turn it into a maintenance guide, perhaps?
