Steering Wheel Shakes?

[HoNdaInspire01]

My steering wheel shakes while the engine is off. It just move back & forth, I feel uncomfortable & uneasy while driving. The steering wheel is so loose I'm scare taking sharp turns. Nothing is bent , check everything. How do I fix this?

Sounds like you need a new steering rack setup.

unplug your battery! ( 9293 only ) take a small flat head and pry off the cosmetic cover for the cruise control SET/RESUME on the wheel (u don thave to be careful i tried to break one one time and it didnt break GJ HONDA) , ull see a torques screw i think its a t-35 or t-40 ( shape of a star ) it is VERY important that you use EVEN pressure and not strip this screw. take a very small flat head and go to the opposite side of the wheel and pop of the cosmetic cover, ull find another torques screw, now pull your airbag off, ull c a HUGE NUT, take a 3/4 or a 17mm ( maybe 19mm idk ) n e wais tighten that bolt if your wheel is loose

if you have a 9091 then just take a flat head and pop the H of in the center of the wheel and ull see the huge nut and just tighten it. if this doesnt solve your problem then DONT DRIVE YOUR CAR until your wheel is secure, u have a bigger issue that may require extensive under the car or beind the dash work.

I doubt it is the wheel itself being loose. It is either going to be the bearings in the steering colum that need replacing or the bolts are starting to loosen for the tilt.

I think the steering wheel is loose for some reason for being used for a lock right?
