tilt bracket

Post by Chebus »

So im trying to fix the slight movement in the steering wheel (about 1-2 cm movement side to side) and i think its from the tilt bracket. The small plates slide in the cut out "V" then bolt on, but if i adjust the wheel height the movement comes back. Im not %100 sure but are the small plates meant to be glued on (notice the 4 small holes in the corners) and only come off after the driver hits the steering wheel in a crash?

any help would be appreciated! want to get this thing on the road!!!!!!!!

Nope, but the slot in the piece in the first picture needs to line up with the groove in the 2nd picture. Should fit snugly.

    Still shouldnt move like that if installed properly. Ive pulled them out before and put them back and not got the sort of movement you are talking about.
